I’m glad I did not read the reviews, or search out the true story on which this movie is based, before seeing it. Knowing the ending in advance would, in my opinion, take some of the focus away from the emotional and physical journey the characters take. Steve Carell is superb (and scary) as a wrestling obsessed (Du Pont family) multimillionaire who takes it upon himself to coach the USA’s team leading up to the 1988 Olympics, and Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo play real life gold medal brothers and wrestlers. This is very much a psychological study that slowly burns.
