As an example of smarter-than-average Hollywood fare - and a sly dig at modern sporting politics - 'Moneyball' has all the key bases covered.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Fresh
One of the most soulful of baseball movies -- it confronts the anguish of a very tough game.
David Denby, New Yorker

The real protagonist of Moneyball, however, is Beane himself, played with great charisma by Brad Pitt.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Fresh
[Pitt] provides ballast and a swaggering humor to a movie that, too often, strives to be The Social Network of baseball movies.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
