Breathtaking.

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2009)

Having just watched this film, I can't stop thinking about it. Everything about it is simply sublime. A professional and hard to fault job as usual from Fincher, one of the great Directors. Performances from the leading two were incredible ; I couldn't take my eyes off of Cate Blanchett, even when she did get older. Locations, colour palette and score are magnificently assembled. It is a shame that this is slipping down the Top 250, it should be right up there, certainly with Slumdog Millionaire. It may well be compared to Forrest Gump, but it appeals on so many levels, and in different ways that it will make it on it's own. A hauntingly beautiful picture that I am not going to be able to stop thinking about any time soon.
