Review of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) by J-Shap — 27 Aug 2011
Benjamin Button is a great mixed bag of a film. Despite it's many problems (length, similarity to Forrest Gump), however, aren't its undoing. The undoing comes in the form of a distinct clash of ideas, inappropriately trying to mesh screenwriter Eric Roth's sentimental and wonderful view of the world with director David Fincher's cold nihilism and rewarding distance from connection.
It is these two moods that tear apart Benjamin Button.
