External critics' reviews

Washington Post Ann Hornaday
Like a cold beer under a bluebird sky; like a flawless line drive on a warm summer's day; like a long, languorous seventh-inning stretch - Moneyball satisfies. more
Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
Never before, though, have statistics added up to such electrifying entertainment. After the mostly minor-league productions of recent months, this movie, which was directed by Bennett Miller, renews your belief in the power of movies. more
The New York Times Manohla Dargis
It's hard to imagine anyone but Mr. Pitt in the role. He's relaxed yet edgy and sometimes unsettling. more
Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
Funny, furious, and full of front-office drama. more
Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
Moneyball is the perfect sports movie for these cash-strapped times of efficiency maximization. more
Chicago Reader J.R. Jones
The real protagonist of Moneyball, however, is Beane himself, played with great charisma by Brad Pitt. (With this movie and "The Tree of Life" competing against each other, Pitt could wind up cheating himself out of an Oscar this year.) more
Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
The movie is an absolute triumph of culturally relevant filmmaking – a film that will thrill and fascinate sport junkies and non-fans alike. If you like baseball, you will love this movie. If you hate baseball, you will still love this movie. more
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
A smart, intense and moving film that isn't so much about sports as about the war between intuition and statistics. I walked in knowing what the movie was about, but unprepared for its intelligence and depth. more
Variety Peter Debruge
While a hopelessly awkward-looking Hill provides fish-out-of-water laughs, Pitt gives a genuinely soul-searching performance. more
Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
The supersmart and rousing Moneyball, which may be the best baseball movie since "Bull Durham," is also about talk, but in a coolly heady and original inside-the-front-office way. more
