Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
A contender for the upcoming kudo season, but I’m not so impressed. Sure, the make-up is great, showing Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett in their better and worse years (though the sharp-eyed will see some CGI remnants floating on top of the bodies). Sure the outline sounds interesting.
But in the end, it runs too long, and still has the feeling of a normal Hollywood flick. Acting is good, but not phenomenal. Also the story is a bit slim and linear.
So, curiosity solved.7-.
