Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2014)

With 13 Oscar nominations and three wins, and almost as many BAFTA nominations and wins, there is no doubt that this is one of the best films I've seen.
First off the makeup and visual effects and sets and cinematography and sound were all superb as one would expect of a film of this caliber.
The acting? Well, Cate Blanchett, Taraji P. Henson, Brad Pitt, Julia Ormond, and Tilda Swinton were all absolutely amazing. Yes, there was a huge cast of supporting characters, both playing the above at different ages, and there were others interacting. They all made this a most enjoyable experience.
It was Eric Roth's screenplay and David Fincher's direction that pulled it all together into one of the most captivating movies I have ever seen. The lines in the film were some of the most thought provoking imaginable.
What a beautiful love story.
