	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	Moneyball is one of the best and most viscerally exciting films of the year (...) Moneyball is a baseball movie like The Social Network is a Facebook movie, meaning it isn't. Both are about how we play the game of our lives (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A smart, intense and moving film that isn't so much about sports as about the war between intuition and statistics (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Writers Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin resurrect the old adage 'It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game' (...) Pitt gives a genuinely soul-searching performance"	POS
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"The movie does achieve something nearly impossible: Someone who doesn't even like the sport may care about Billy Beane and the 2002 Oakland Athletics"	POS
Canada	Peter Howell Toronto Star	"Pitt and Hill make Beane and Brand seem like the year's most intriguing couple, bringing deep shades of humour and pathos to their characters that help make Moneyball more than just another sports or baseball movie (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
