Beautiful photography and directing instantly evoking the political and newsroom thrillers of the 70's.

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2020)

A screenplay that blends the styles of both its auteurs and grounded central performances make Moneyball interesting, engaging biopic/nonfiction. Tows the line in a way that Capote and Foxcatcher don't but it makes for a pleasing, above average picture with what seems like a full roster of non-actors fleshing out the feeling of authenticity. Also has a clean, simple marketing to it that, although reflects similar trends of the 2010's and 2011's, it's surprisingly memorable and attractive for what is essentially a film that could have got swallowed up.
