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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Owen E. @RT61456183 1d As close to perfection as a movie can get. See more Peninnah Z @RT68923912 3d Moneyball is an engaging and thought-provoking movie based on a true story. It follows a baseball manager who uses statistics and data analysis to build a competitive team despite having limited financial resources. What makes the film stand out is how it challenges traditional thinking and shows the value of innovation and taking calculated risks. Even though I am not a big baseball fan, I found the story interesting because it focuses on leadership, perseverance, and problem-solving. Brad Pitt delivers a strong performance, and the film does a great job of showing the obstacles that come with introducing new ideas. Overall, Moneyball is an inspiring movie that teaches valuable lessons about determination, teamwork, and the importance of thinking differently in order to achieve success.

See more J J @RT54021238 Jun 15 Moneyball (2011) is a sports drama inspired by a true story. It follows Billy Beane, the GM of the Oakland Athletics, as he tries to rebuild a struggling team with limited resources. Unable to afford star players, he and his assistant use statistical analysis to find undervalued talent and challenge the traditional way of thinking. More than a baseball film, Moneyball is about strategy, leadership, innovation, and the courage to go against the system. It explores the conflict between emotion and intellect, intuition and logic, while keeping us invested in the team's struggles and victories. Even if you're not a baseball fan, the film remains highly engaging. Its underdog story, strong performances, and emotional impact make it one of the best sports films I've seen. By the end, I was left with a genuine feel-good feeling, and my mind felt completely refreshed. See more S. O @Col._Angus Jun 2 Performances are great, and the story (which is true) is very compelling. This is a great movie. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom May 17 Moneyball is an outstanding film that earns a perfect 10/10 from me. It tells the story of the 2002 Oakland Athletics and their general manager Billy Beane in a way that feels both inspiring and believable. What makes this movie so good is how it turns baseball into something bigger than the game itself. The writing is sharp, the pacing is strong, and the film keeps you engaged from beginning to end. I also really like how it focuses on strategy, pressure, and the challenge of doing things differently. That makes it more than just a sports movie, because it has real emotion and meaning behind it. Overall, Moneyball is a smart, memorable, and highly enjoyable film that stands out for its storytelling and performances. It is one of my favorites, and I rate it a 10/10. See more Read all reviews
