Review of Moneyball (2011) by Letitia Y — 05 Sep 2013
Moneyball is an excellent film, absorbing and funny while still staying thrilling and uncompromising in its vision. If you take two things I couldn't find less interesting, namely baseball and statistics, I would normally pass the movie and not look back.
However, Moneyball embraces these two seemingly conflicting ideas and manages to make an engrossing and incredible film. This is an absolute triumph of spirit and fact. Brad Pitt embraces the role in a way that makes it seem like he was born to play Billy Beane and is able to do so effortlessly.
Jonah Hill proves to be more than just a pudgy comedian in his role as a major in economics from Yale who is ostracized for looking at baseball from a completely analytical standpoint. The script is sharp and incredible, and the movie is perfect in its observation of the game.
