Pedro Henrique C @Pedro2005 3d Million Dollar Baby (2004) I have no words to describe this masterpiece of American cinema. It's an extremely moving and powerful film with a spectacular cast. We need more films like this these days. See more VITALII H @freakynickison May 15 I’ve heard and I knew about this movie but I never actually watched it. Now I finally did and I absolutely loved what I saw. This was such a powerful and meaningful movie. Towards the ending it turned into a sob fest for me personally. Very strong and simplistic at the same time and it worked beautifully. The immaculate writing and the dialogues were very well acted. I am speechless, highly recommend. I kinda like the mystery behind Frankie that was never fully solved. We don’t know about him much but the way he carries himself in the movie gives us some hints and the idea what happened in his life. Overall, I am very impressed and I can’t describe how much I rooted for Maggie throughout the whole movie, very well executed role. See more Frans B @FransB Mar 23 Brilliant! Just about perfect moviemaking in every aspect. Clint Eastwood directed this to a T. Convincing performances by Hilary Swank, Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman adds credibility. Amazing cinematography and visually stunning. Very real life feel to it. Heartfelt, deeply emotional and moving. All the elements of a truly great story. Highly recommended See more Stephen C @bob25009 Feb 11 The worldwide gross is $216,763,646.00 over a budget of $30,000,000.00.

I got taken out of it a little when the known dirty fighter is allowed to throw an elbow as well as punch her when she is down in 2004 and the WBA with cameras everywhere is just like sure lets keep the fight going.

Eastwood crafts a devastating meditation on surrogate family, dignity, and impossible choices, dressed in boxing gloves. Hilary Swank delivers career-best work, physically and emotionally transformed into a fighter whose determination breaks your heart. But what elevates this beyond sports drama is the central relationship: Eastwood's wounded father figure and Swank's desperate daughter-figure finding redemption in each other. Morgan Freeman, in one of his finest roles (that's genuinely saying something), provides the soul. The film masterfully balances the visceral thrill of boxing sequences with quiet, tender character moments. Yes, the ending is divisive and gutting... but it's earned, thoughtful, and thematically honest rather than exploitative. At 8.5/10 for me, this stands as top-tier Eastwood: classical filmmaking with emotional depth, anchored by three powerhouse performances. The mix of action and devastating emotion creates something that lingers long after the final frame. See more Read all reviews
