The beginning of the movie was good, especially where the doctor explained the baby's issues and his closeness with Queenie, but once she had her... y and he left to "find himself"... the movie ran aground just like another Brad Pitt movie, Legends of the Fall, when Brad's character took off to find himself only to distance himself emotionally from the other characters, which made us not care as much about them either. Instead of adding depth to the character(s), the separation ends up detracting from the relationships the audience needs to care about. If they had kept his character really connected to these people in his life (like it was done in Fried Green Tomatoes), it would have made much more of an emotional impact when people died, etc. Bottom line is I stopped really caring about the characters and the story ended up losing steam in the end. The acting was ok, not great. Full Review

Benjamin Button is all of a visionary piece, and it's a soul-filling vision.Full Review

A curious case indeed: an extravagantly ambitious movie that's easy to admire but a challenge to love.Full Review

There's no denying the film's power of compulsion and the sense that, when it's all over, it means something. Most viewers will be entertained and moved, and some will find their intellect aroused.Full Review
