The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON (2008) - Dec. 18, 2008
About a man who is born old and ages backwards, this was a really well made and well acted film. It's quite long (almost three hours) but certainly never boring. Though the film traces the whole life of Benjamin Button, it is surprisingly uneventful; this is the type of movie that just slowly washes over you. I enjoyed it, and I suspect that it'll get better on repeat viewings. ***1/2
