The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

This is a beautiful movie that makes you think about life and death by telling the story of a man who lives life backwards. Though the plot is just a nifty trick to make a insightful movie more intriguing, it also allows the director David Fincher to display some cutting edge technology capabilities by superimposing Brad Pitt's face onto a little person.

And even though the movie is beautiful and insightful, it is also long, slow and a bit on the boring side. It's a good idea to see a brainless actino flick after watching this film to help balance your mind, heart and soul out.

Wonderful acting, great story, well written and well directed. This is a solid movie all the way through.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10
