➱ STAFF REVIEW:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), directed by David Fincher, is a visually stunning and emotionally resonant film that explores themes of time, aging, and the impermanence of life. Brad Pitt delivers a compelling performance as Benjamin Button, capturing the character’s complexity and vulnerability. Cate Blanchett is equally captivating as Daisy, bringing depth and grace to her role. The film's impressive special effects and makeup artistry convincingly portray Benjamin's reverse aging process. With a poignant screenplay by Eric Roth, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story, and a hauntingly beautiful score by Alexandre Desplat, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a mesmerizing and thought-provoking cinematic experience.
