Forrest Gump In Reverse

Rating: 6/10 (26 June 2012)

Brad Pitt did an excellent job of playing a very young old man struggling because he just didn't fit in. The whole thing was beautifully shot, and the underlying quirk of the main character was rather interesting. But overall I wasn't drawn that far into the romance, mainly as I was unconvinced by their meeting and the assumption that their love was unequivocal. Even if I were to believe that it all started when Cate Blanchett was a young girl and he was an old man, I just wasn't sold. It also seemed that she was more mature as a child, because as an adult she became more of a selfish and immature upstart.
