The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button (12A)

Watch The Trailer (View all trailers and clips)

Plot
Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) is a boy born with the biology of a pensioner… As he grows up, he grows younger, and falls in love with Daisy (Cate Blanchett). Can their romance survive his curious condition?

Verdict
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?
