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.

C-

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.

4/4

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.

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.

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.

Never easy to do a film on sports. This is a great film, based on a true story. Bran Pitt is a revelation in the role.

Totally enjoyable. As Lorna said, "They hit it out of the park." Brad Pitt is one of our favorite actors, and he’s in fine form here, very effectively playing a more subdued role. The pacing, editing and music allow the movie to build gradually in excitement. I also liked the central idea that data could play such an important and unexpected role in baseball. In some ways, that feels even more relevant today, when data has become one of the most valuable assets in the age of AI.

One of my all-time favorite movies. Great story and acting. It's one of a very few movies I keep rewatching over and over again.

Moneyball is a film I can respect without feeling close to. Baseball means almost nothing to me, and the story never found another emotional entry point strong enough to make its characters or conflicts matter personally. Still, I was never bored. The performances and dialogue create enough rhythm and tension to keep even unfamiliar decisions engaging. That contradiction defines the experience: it held my attention without ever earning my involvement. I do not think it is a bad film. I simply remained outside something many others clearly find meaningful.

I remember years ago when I read Brad Pitt was going to be in a baseball movie I rolled my eyes at the ridiculousness of it all. I think since this movie has come out, I don’t think I’ve missed an opportunity to rewatch it yet again for the twentieth time. Love, love, love this movie. An instant baseball classic and superbly acted by all.
