Reviews for Million Dollar Baby
"Million Dollar Baby" is a tragic film about an innately paternal man's desperate need to overcome his own emotional traps and the loyal girl who facilitates his growth by her steely will and stubborn drive.

Million Dollar Baby adds to Clint Eastwood's legacy in ways we might not have expected. It explores emotional terrain as he hasn't done before, and it gives him a kind of role that he has never had before.

Like Eastwood, it's a relic that dazzles you with its footwork, daring and class.
08/01/08
Top CriticThis is Eastwood's weakest work in years, perhaps because it yokes itself to a hot-button theme instead of a story that resonates.
07/18/08
A devastating act of mercy for one character may very well cost the soul of another.
02/28/08
After the somewhat hysterical Mystic River - a flawed work dominated by a powerhouse performance from Sean Penn - this is a far more balanced piece, anchored by three terrific turns and some lean direction from Eastwood.
02/20/08
Easily Mr. Eastwood's best film since Unforgiven.
07/14/07
Million Dollar Baby is a strong contender, but it suffers a TKO in the last round.
03/03/07
Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby is a masterpiece, pure and simple, deep and true.
02/06/07
Top Criticwhat's great about Eastwood, is how he turns cliche to cinematic archetype, and throws in a modern twist at the same time
09/10/06
Quietly quite magnificent.
06/24/06
To steal from Ali, this one floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.
04/01/06
Performances throughout are superb.
01/17/06
Though conventional in many respects, it feels like no other boxing film ever made, due largely to Eastwood's unmistakable presence on both sides of the camera.
09/26/05
Not glitzy or glamorous, but solidly written, acted, and photographed
09/01/05
Clint Eastwood elicits yet another remarkable performance from a young actor.
07/29/05
The movie is about fights and wounds and healings, beginnings and endings, that are not only physical but mental, psychological, spiritual.
