What a stupid name for a movie. Oh well… be that as it may, the critics are LOVING Million Dollar Baby. I’ve gotta admit I’m a fan of Eastwood’s films (for the most part) and I’m looking forward to catching this one on Saturday.
The reviews are coming in, and here’s what some of the critics are saying:
“The film works on every level — acting, direction and production — as it tells its heartfelt story about human frailty and the power of redemption.”
— Paul Clinton, CNN“The kind of movie where you sit very quietly in the theater and are drawn deeply into lives that you care very much about.”
— Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES“Any doubt that Eastwood ranks among America’s finest filmmakers should forever be dispelled thanks to this unexpectedly brilliant masterpiece. ”
— Edward Douglas, COMINGSOON.NET“Eastwood deserves another Best Picture nomination. Here’s a man who has finally put Dirty Harry to rest.”
— James Berardinelli, REELVIEWS
I love Unforgiven, I loved Mystic River… man… Eastwood is turning into one of my favorite filmmakers. Whoda thought?
