Paul S This movie was intriguing and heartwarming, and it was incredibly enjoyable to watch. I highly recommend it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Mich T This movie very much brings a Forest Gump vibe, it's rather a lesson about life. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, the movie tells the unique story of Benjamin Button, a man who ages in reverse. Born as an old man and gradually growing younger over time, Benjamin's life is filled with the same challenges, joys, and heartbreaks as anyone else's, but his unusual condition makes everything more complicated. The film explores themes like time, love, and mortality in a deeply reflective way. One of the movie's greatest strengths is its ability to blend fantasy with genuine human emotion. Even though the premise is strange, it doesn't feel like a gimmick. The movie takes its time, allowing you to really connect with Benjamin's journey. The visual effects, which show Benjamin aging in reverse, are impressive, adding to the overall believability of the story. Brad Pitt delivers a strong performance, making Benjamin a character you truly care about, and Cate Blanchett is as excellent as playing Daisy, the love of his life. However, the film can feel very slow at times, and its nearly three-hour runtime might be a bit too long for some viewers. There are moments where the story drags, especially in the middle, and a tighter edit could have helped with pacing. Despite these flaws, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a beautifully made, thought-provoking film that sticks with you long after the credits roll. It makes you reflect on the nature of time, the inevitability of aging, and how precious the moments we share with others truly are. While it's not a perfect film, its emotional depth and unique story make it one of those movies that stays with you, leaving a lasting impression. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review dieljohn c It's pretty good, the plot, the cinematography, the music, overall it's pretty good. Definitely underrated, although I personally had a problem how the plot was presented, I get that they were trying to tell a story through a memoir but I felt as if the pacing was a bit slow, I get that they were trying to develop his character but my point still stands, slow. Nevertheless, overall it's a good movie, definitely would recommend. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Chief B The curious case of Benjamin button.
