Wow

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2017)

Was always going to watch this film but was in no hurry as it is long and I thought it seemed weird, Boy, was I wrong!! It is long but did not seem so to me, I stayed up way past my bedtime, and it was definitely NOT weird. The story is very well told, a man born in his eighties and ages backwards, an unusual concept but very well done in this film. I love movies so will probably watch this one again, which I don't often do, so that says a lot about this movie, especially since it is a long one. The acting is great, especially Cate Blanchett and Taraji P. Henson. Brad Pitt is great too, playing Benjamin very subtly and quietly.Love Jared Harris too, as the tugboat captain. The love story between Benjamin and Daisy is magical, to say the least, and don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but that part of the story is wonderful as well as very different. The makeup and visual effects are amazing, as well as the cinematography, I can see why it was nominated for so many Academy awards, and winning some. I think everyone would enjoy this film, it had a huge story line, covering wars, travelling the world, and always going back home. It could have been odd, but with David Finchers direction,and the magical everything else about this film, I think it is a wonderful story about life, love,loss, time,etc. I truly believe everyone should watch this movie, it kept me riveted with the constant changing of history,not knowing what was coming next, it has action, which I was surprised by, love, something for everyone really, a definite must see movie!! Wish I would have watched it sooner!
