The deservedly multi-award nominated The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button sees David Fincher team up with his Fight Club star Brad Pitt. Pitt plays Benjamin Button, a man born in an old peron's body who in turn ages backwards. While the premise may seem a little mind-boggling for some, Eric Roth (the writer behind Forrest Gump) and Robin Swicord's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story is poetic, epic and intimate all at once. Critics have moaned about its length, but for the story and the characters to become a part of you, this film could not have been any shorter. The Currious Case Of Benjamin Button is a magical tale about love, understanding and acceptance, all themes ridiculously relevant in our time. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett's chemistry lights up the screen. Together with Fincher and the outstanding supporting cast (inlcuding Tilda Swinton, Oscar nominated Taraji P. Henson and Julia Ormond), the tale of little Benjamin Button is uplifting and original. Giving away any scenes or technical effects would be ruining the magic. --Jennifer Kilchenmann
Customer reviews:  The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 2010-02-19
This was our first blu ray disc and we were looking forward to something special. What a let down this film turned out to be. The sound quality was bad and a large percentage of the film appears to have been filmed in very low light which together did not make for good viewing. Maybe I have a faulty disc, but I hope that any future blu ray purchases will not be so bad.
 The Curious case of Benjamin Button..., 2010-02-09
From the director David Fincher who normally delivers dark tales such as Se7en, Fight club and Zodiac this time he brings a heart warming story adapted from a short story by F Scott Fitzgerald about a man who ages backwards, Fincher is again working with Brad Pitt who plays the title role of the piece.
The story is told in flashback as the love of Benjamin's life played by Cate Blanchett lies in her death bed and her daughter reads aloud from Benjamin's diary, this film looks amazing and Pitt and Blanchett have a genuine chemistry together the downside of this movie is it is rather long at 166 minutes running time and a little on the slow side pace wise.
