      Aender S Eastwood usually knows how to hit a nerve, here it's the best he's done to me so far. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Antoine T A great movie I still remember even years after watching it. I still have some trauma to recover from before watching it again though. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Spike G A super sad but great acted film Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Alec C If you could take a shot that might be too much for you to handle, would you take it?! An aging boxing coach takes on an ambitious boxer who wants her shot at making it big, which leads to great success but also a great tragedy. Eastwood takes a simple sports tale and turns it into an emotional story of family, fighting for your chance, and the steep sacrifice of sportsmanship! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Aidan M Good but depressing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Carlotta F A deep, moving and compelling movie. Hard and difficult. Magnificent actors. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Namrata Joshi Outlook The film does obliquely posit a new model of womanhood, one about risking the all-important beauty for a larger mission. But more than Maggie, the show actually belongs to the guilt-ridden Frankie... Rated: 3/4 Jan 8, 2019 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A heartfelt, creditable picture. Rated: 3/5 Feb 27, 2015 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald I don't think it's his masterpiece, but it's a big, beautiful, sad film with unforgettable performances. Feb 27, 2015 Full Review Mark Johnson Awards Daily An authentically earnest film about desperate and failed characters looking for humanity and salvation from each other, both inside and out of the ring. Jun 27, 2023 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site The characters Eastwood plays are not answerable to anyone, except themselves. As long as they pull a long face, furrow their brows and look pained after the fact, they are permitted to commit any number of crimes. Feb 15, 2021 Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut Million Dollar Baby boasts wonderful acting and character writing, but a frustrating treatment of themes within a plot adapted from two short stories. Rated: 3/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
