From NetFlix:

David Fincher directs this adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic
tale set in the early 20th century that follows Benjamin Button (Brad
Pitt), a man who was born in his 80s and continually grows younger. The
story throws linear conventions upside down to explore love, loss and
memories from the perspective of a character living under incredibly
unique — and unexpectedly difficult — circumstances. Cate Blanchett
co-stars in this Oscar nominee for Best Picture.

This is one long film – 3 hours! But it was good enough that I did not mind the length. At times I felt that the segments of Button’s life were too disjointed, but toward the end of the film it made for better continuity and sense.

The conceit is clever and entertaining. It is actually fun watching someone begin his life as an old man and then become younger and younger until he is an infant. The story actually works! I am not sure an expert in facial development would agree with each stage of Button’s life.

But get serious: would I really want to grow younger so that in time (for however briefly) I looked like Brad Pitt ?

YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT I WOULD !!!
