Million Dollar Baby
It's the story of an ambitious girl named Maggie Fitzgerald who wants to learn from the best boxers named Frankie Den. Maggie asked Frankie to train her, and at first he categorically refused to say he was not interested in training a girl. Frankie is a lonely man who is isolated from his only daughter and has a few friends. But Frankie finally agrees to train Maggie. Maggie is the boxer that Frankie has always dreamed of, as well as the only friend who fills the great void he has had in his life. Maybe an accident inside the ring will change everything.

Always one of America's most undervalued directors, Clint Eastwood is proving himself the American cinema's national treasure in the third act of his career.
February 27, 2015
I don't think it's his masterpiece, but it's a big, beautiful, sad film with unforgettable performances.

As an actor, Eastwood has rarely taken on a character as complex as Frankie Dunn.
February 27, 2015
The film is impeccably made, but more than that, the director who also composed the lovely music score, brings a rare degree of humanity to the intensely moving conclusion.
February 24, 2013
It is thoughtful, unfashionable, measured, mostly honest, sometimes clumsy or remote, often exciting, occasionally moving and eventually surprising. It's correct.
January 10, 2014
The only differences between this new film and its many forebears are that the young hopeful is a woman and the finish is unforeseen.
February 24, 2013
Barely a year after the release of Mystic River, Clint Eastwood delivers a second consecutive drama that fearlessly probes the shadows of human morality without falling back on easy answers.
February 24, 2013
It's impressive, in the sense that a sucker-punch impresses itself on your skull.
February 27, 2015
A heartfelt, creditable picture.
February 27, 2015
From beginning to end, its dark, foreboding atmosphere reflects the troubled world in which its three central figures conduct their essentially moral lives.
February 27, 2015
The movie is simultaneously conventional and subversive, broad and nuanced, shamelessly manipulative and genuinely moving, a cheap sucker punch and a work of real moral weight.
February 27, 2015
Anyone who doesn't believe that Clint Eastwood is one of the best film-makers in America ought to see Million Dollar Baby.
