Critics Consensus

Director Bennett Miller, along with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, take a niche subject and turn it into a sharp, funny, and touching portrait worthy of baseball lore.

Like a long, boring game of chess, where hopeful baseball players are discarded as effortlessly as a pawn and a knight, Moneyball fails to provide the sentiment it needs to inspire audiences.

Moneyball is a winner, one of the freshest and smartest sports movies in years.

San Diego Reader

Brad Pitt is at the top of his own game as Beane. Cocky and often nonchalant, he is gnawed by doubts that he tries to cover by grabbing a snack or pitching a grin.

Rated: 4/4

How can you not be romantic about baseball and this film? A superb script by Aaron Sorkin, great performances by Pitt and Hill, and solid direction by Miller result in a phenomenal sports drama of how the sport evolved. [Full review in Spanish]

Next Best Picture

“Moneyball” is expertly constructed, so it should come as no surprise that it was penned by two of the best screenwriters of the last thirty years: Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin.

Rated: 8/10

Above all, Moneybag is a sports film variant traversed by the constant quantification of a financial crisis. [Full review in Spanish]

A well-written engaging screenplay. It's well acted, the characters seem very real, and the conduct between those characters is interesting. It's well shot, frames look professional. The movie's more about the things that happen behind the sport rather than the sport, so you don't really have to know much about baseball for this to interest you. It's better to keep in mind that it's not of the kind to be hyped up for but a standard good-watch that will leave you impressed for sure with a brief satisfaction once you've finished watching it.

Boring plot and boring pace. I mean I get that it's a biographical film and it's based on real events but...who cares about statistical analysis? The acting is okay I guess, nothing special.

I don't understand how anyone doesn't like this. I've watched it 100+ times, it's my top 3 movies of all time. So many amazing scenes and subtle acting mastery. I love this movie.

In spite of being a tad too long and not showing enough nuance at some of the things depicted, Moneyball is a well acted and solidly directed sports movie that utilizes its true story origins to craft a movie that manages to stay mostly interesting throughout while also having both depth and personality, in large part thanks to the superb writing by Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin.
