The 15 best films coming to Netflix in November 2022

Based on the outstanding book of the same name by Michael Lewis, Moneyball tells the story of Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A’s baseball team, who found a way to succeed even though Major League Baseball’s set up virtually ensures small market teams will fail. The book was stat-heavy and very “inside baseball” (in the most literal way possible), but to make this a cinematic event, the producers hired Grade-A screenwriters Aaron Sorkin and Steve Zaillian to adapt, humanistic director Bennett Miller, and Brad Pitt to star as Beane. Now, none of this meant would be guaranteed to work, but it hit a grand slam (sorry, not sorry), both critically and with audiences. The film even snagged a Best Picture nomination in 2012, but was totally robbed by that year’s winner, The Artist. Yeah. In his review of the film for The A.V. Club, Scott Tobias said “Miller , though not flair, but the script makes up for any flagging energy with crackling Sorkin dialogue and performances that sing with revolutionary fervor.”
