The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

A masterpiece. No two ways about it.
Not only one of the best movies of the year, but one of the best films I've ever seen. People know that I rarely go to such lengths in praising a film, but this one crept inside me, shook me up, and left me with a feeling I've rarely had: total satisfaction.
Rarely is a movie both grandly ambitious and heartbreakingly intimate, but that's the case with this picture. It succeeds at everything it does, everything it tries, and everything it thinks about doing.
Just about as good as you can get. Nearly perfect.
