Like Eastwood, it's a relic that dazzles you with its footwork, daring and class.

Reviews for Million Dollar Baby
Top Critic
This 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
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 Critic what'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
To steal from Ali, this one floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.
04/01/06
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.
06/29/05
On the surface it all seems very reasonable, but it exhibits an innate jingoism and its "feminism" is too thoughtless to be believed. An ungainly, smug film.
06/12/05
The most unspectacular of major studio productions during 2004 is the most gut wrenching memorable.
05/31/05
There were plenty of contenders in 2004 but only one that truly was a heavyweight.
