Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2013)

What you're about to read would be my personal opinion. It's just so rare that I give a 10 to a film due to several complex factors that drown you completely in its greatness, the plot, the characters, the beauty presented in each scene and they are all compelling, nothing lacking, they're just perfect. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, in my opinion is a film that has everything, a masterpiece in every possible way. It is a great story completely wrapped in a very complicated plot and it would be too hard to digest if it wasn't because of Fincher's flawless film direction and genuine creativity. Every film enthusiast can have his or her own perception to what makes a film good or bad. This perception is generally based on various considerations involving particular film aspects. However, despite those different points of view, they usually agree on the greatness of certain film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button would be the case here. I think we can all come to an agreement that this film really brings back David Fincher to The Golden Throne of Great Film Director because of its meticulous film framework. Fincher's brilliant direction is just one of the many things that elevates the film to its rightful position, besides the absolutely artistic design, impeccable soundtrack, amazing moments of visual imagery and a story that transcends its starting point. Benjamin Button is a story about life, about coincidences, about self improvement, about finding oneself, and ultimately, on how to appreciate our existence.
