It's quite rare that a movie leave me speechless; The Curious Case of Benjamin Button happens to be one of those gems. It's a film unlike any I've ever seen - an epic story encompassing every single chapter of one's life, lead through wonderful direction and delivered with sheer simplicity and a tantalizing musical score. I will admit the film is quite demanding emotionally, forcing you to experience every death in Benjamin's life, but we also experience his joys and momentous adventures as well. Even at 3 hours, by the end of the film you'll only wish there was more to tell. I must say without a doubt this graceful depiction of life, love, and the things we lose should not go unnoticed. Big kudos to Finch on this one. 9.1/10.
