Something New Handled With Ease

The curious case of benjamin button is totally a fresh concept with two powerhouses of talent leading the frame and subtle direction leading its to its glory.
Talking about screenplay, this must be said that while the story is groundbreaking, the screenplay although being great doesn't match its glory and loses it in the second half. This isn't to say that the writer just did an average job. In reality, the film's plot and detailed script comes as a relief. Probably one of the finest from the past year.
The film has been directed with enough brilliance and the way Fincher pulled off a very masterful film while keeping the atmosphere subtle is brilliant. Managing the film, the way it has been was tricky, and due to Fincher's amazing talent, the film does just that.
Talking about the performances Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett did an amazing job, however these are not the performances their careers will be remembered for.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a refreshing concept, acted and made in the equally refreshing manner, however the film runs for way too long....
