In a nutshell

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2009)

This film is Forrest Gump but backwards. It's a beautiful film, very well directed. The story is very good. There is enough going on in the film to keep you hooked for 160 minutes.
Cate Blanchett was flawless in her role. Every one else was very good in it too.
I do have one criticism. Benjamin Button had such a unique condition which could have been exploited more however, the directer chose to stick with the love story, which by the way unwinds majestically, and in my opinion had there been more meat on the bones, besides the love story, then this film would have easily got 10 out of 10.
Magical film.
