Time Out
"As an example of smarter-than-average Hollywood fare - and a sly dig at modern sporting politics - Moneyball has all the key bases covered."

"You don't need to understand anything of baseball to get behind this, a chest-swelling story about second chances and flipping a finger up (even a giant foam one) to The Man."
Daily Telegraph
"An accomplished, bracingly intelligent film that scores points on all fronts..."
