Movie Review - 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'
getthebigpicture.net 12/23/2008 — 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' is a better experience and a better production than it is a singularly entertaining movie. You're better for having seen it, it's definitely something to discuss further, but there's not as much to enjoy about it as you might think.
Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
cinematical.com 12/25/2008 — I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button weeks ago, and yet every time I tried to think about it -- whether it was to contemplate a decision in David Fincher's direction, a deviation from F. Scott Fitzgerald's story, a moment in Eric Roth's ...
