The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) -- D. Fincher
In the old Hollywood parlance, this is what would be called a prestige picture (and a high concept one at that). You can see the money on the screen, in the computer wizardry and the often strikingly beautiful images. But the sentimentality drifts into schmaltz and the film feels too long by half. I also hope I never have to see another framing story with old people telling their kids about their lives (as we fade into voice-over...). (2010 Review)
