An American Fable

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2008)

I got to see an advance screening of this film and found it enchanting from the very start. It begins like a fairy tale with newborn Benjamin being stolen and left on a doorstep. I advise you to go see how it ends.
This is a beautifully written, acted and directed American Masterpiece.
The cinematography, sound design and score are phenomenal. The chemistry between Brad and Cate is off the charts. This is a complex movie that I haven't been able to get my mind or emotions totally around, but it is moving as the elements that keep crashing in and about the characters. It is funny and sad and poignant.
As a long time David Fincher enthusiast I hope this film will win many well deserved Oscars.
Great movie! I look forward to the DVD.
