Although he's one of my favourite directors I can never think of anything to write about Clint Eastwood's movies. Which is why my take on Million Dollar Baby comes across as less than my best effort.
I think the problem is that I like the movies so much, they work so well as good, engaging stories, I forget I'm watching a movie.
In the case of Million Dollar Baby, I think it's one of the best movies of the last few years. I think it's this good because it is such a well told story. It's remarkably well constructed, well-performed and effortlessly executed. And there is no cinematic flim-flam to oversell it as an "important" movie.
It's just there. And it's great. And here's my review.
