What to Know

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.

Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online 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. Rated: C- Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday Moneyball is a winner, one of the freshest and smartest sports movies in years. Rated: 3.5/4 May 6, 2014 Full Review David Elliott 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 May 6, 2014 Full Review Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week The trick of Moneyball is that while this analytics revolution has not made the sport any more enjoyable... watching the coup unfold via nonstop workplace arguments is a blast. Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views If The Big Short distilled Lewis’ prose to its most entertaining essence without sacrificing his scope and The Blind Side just favored the human interest portion of his story, then Moneyball fell somewhere in between. Jan 4, 2025 Full Review Fico Cangiano CineXpress Podcast 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.

Steve S. Fantastically entertaining and funny! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Mate P Moneyball is definitely my kind of film, and I loved it very much. I knew close to nothing about baseball, but this movie grabbed me from the start. The characters made it absolutely intriguing. The way Billy Beane acts differently in his work life and around his daughter is heart-breaking. Also, you would think you know how this movie ends, but that is not the case here. The cinematography is really good, the footage from the stadiums look gorgeous. The editing is amazing, the pacing is on point. But what carries this movie is Brad Pitt's insane charisma that's helped by an amazing supporting cast. Moneyball builds something great on Brad Pitt's charisma and an inspiring story. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Marc P They need to make a Brad Pitt Fortnite skin right now. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Frans B Brilliantly presented! Excellent work by Bennett Miller. Brad Pitt and the rest of cast absolutely nails their characters out of the ballpark 😜 Great cinematography. Emotional, tense, daring, gritty, funny, witty and very entertaining. Great movie, memorable for sure and well deserving of the six Academy Award nominations it received Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Stephen C 2 hours and 13 minutes based on a true story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Some Strong Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $75,600,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Sam R Really makes you think about what truly goes into a game of baseball. It's not just good players; there is much more that is required to make it happen. Great movie overall. Absolutely recommend to anyone remotely interested in sports.
