The Curious 

Case Of

Benjamin Button

Brilliant From End to Beginning. 

Shelli Carlisle 

An extraordinary tale, beautiful, poignant, humorous, breathtaking, heartbreaking.  A story that seems impossible to bring to the big screen yet done with such care and wonder.  This film is a delightful treasure.  The performances by Cate Blanchet and Brad Pitt,  were flawless as were that of the supporting cast. 

The makeup artists and special effects did an incredible job working their magic.   

This movie is long, can feel a little slow at times, but it is necessary to tell this marvelous tale.  Wear something comfortable, forget the popcorn and drinks, you don’t want to miss a second.

Synopsis

"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be.

Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, "Benjamin Button," is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.
