I love Benjamin Button!

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2009)

I went to see this over New Years and absolutely loved it. I thought it was the kind of epic movie that Hollywood used to make back in the day. It was smart, classy, timeless, beautiful, subtle, moving, sweet, endearing, powerful and thought provoking. David Fincher stepped out of his comfort zone and the risk payed off. He did an amazing job with this film. The sets, the costumes, the score, the acting...all add to the power and magic of this film. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett are stellar. I alway absolutely love Julia Ormond's performance. It was soothing, nurturing and helped tie the story together wonderfully. It really is a terrific concept for a movie, a man aging backwards, and makes you evaluate your own life and what you want to make of it in your limited time here. So so so so great!!! See this movie!
