Reviews
Time Magazine - A sprawling, enthralling movie, Empire - Aptly for a film so concerned with time, BUTTON is 13 minutes shy of three hours and just flies by. If this is Fincher selling out, can he sell out more often please?, The Times - David Fincher's fable about a man who gets younger as the world grows older is a technical marvel... The make-up and special effects are sensational, Variety - This odd, epic tale of a man who ages backwards is presented in an impeccable classical manner, every detail tended to with fastidious devotion... An historic achievement, a masterful piece of cinema, New York Times - Above all, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON is a triumph of technique, Hollywood Reporter - Superbly made and winningly acted by Brad Pitt in his most impressive outing to date, Premiere - Naturally, Pitt and Blanchett are outstanding. Fincher's meticulous attention to detail is unerring, down to the light fixtures

Contains infrequent strong language and moderate violence
Additional Information
At once epic in scope and intimate in detail, David Fincher's THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON is certainly the director's most emotional film to date (though FIGHT CLUB and SEVEN don't offer much in the way of competition). Loosely based on an F. Scott Fitzgerald story, this romantic drama tells the tale of Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt), born in 1918 in New Orleans as a baby with wrinkles, cataracts, and arthritis. Benjamin will age backwards, getting younger as he watches those around him growing older. Included in that group are his adoptive mother, Queenie (Taraji P. Henson), and Daisy (Cate Blanchett), the love of his life whom he meets when she is just a little girl and he is an old man. They age in reverse, but despite Benjamin's globe-trotting adventures, their lives repeatedly intersect.
The script from Oscar winner Eric Roth bears more than a few hallmarks in common with his earlier work on FORREST GUMP: both adaptations cross decades and continents. But BENJAMIN's script or even the fine acting aren't its most impressive accomplishment; the technology--both CGI and makeup--used to make Benjamin and Daisy age are remarkable, and makes the film entirely believable, but they're certainly aided by fine performances from both Pitt and Blanchett. The triumph of technology only serves to underscore the beauty of this film and of the love story at its heart.

Life of an American who agesin reverse, born an old man and dying a baby.
Great film based on book by American author Scott Fitzgerald (Great Gatesby), about the long life and relationships of a man who ages in reverse. Gently sad and moving. Surprisingly convincing from such an unlikely premise.
