Million Dollar Baby
Maggie Fitzgerald is an ambitious model for every girl. Maggie decided to learn boxing. She asked one of the aspiring boxers, Frankie Dunn, to train her. Frankie categorically refused because he did not want to train girls. Frankie's life seems completely isolated from others. He is a lonely man isolated from his only daughter and has no friends. In the end, Frankie agrees to train Maggie. Maggie started her favorite game and was able to prove to Frankie that she was the boxer Frankie always dreamed of. She was the only friend who filled the great void he had in his life.

I don't think it's his masterpiece, but it's a big, beautiful, sad film with unforgettable performances.

The only differences between this new film and its many forebears are that the young hopeful is a woman and the finish is unforeseen.

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 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.

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.

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.

As an actor, Eastwood has rarely taken on a character as complex as Frankie Dunn.
February 27, 2015
A heartfelt, creditable picture.

From beginning to end, its dark, foreboding atmosphere reflects the troubled world in which its three central figures conduct their essentially moral lives.

It is thoughtful, unfashionable, measured, mostly honest, sometimes clumsy or remote, often exciting, occasionally moving and eventually surprising. It's correct.
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's impressive, in the sense that a sucker-punch impresses itself on your skull.
