The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Curious and Fascinating.

Benjamin was born under unusual circumstances. He lived an unusual and, in it’s entirety, an extraordinary life. He might have been like anyone else, just an ordinary, a usual, sort of man. And, maybe he was – just an ordinary man born under unusual circumstances... but what a simply extraordinary life he lived.

Brilliantly performed, set, costumed and made-up but still this is not a captivating film. Simply directed and decently written the draw here is [appropriately] - curiosity.
