An absolute cinematic disaster.
Born under unusual circumstances, Benjamin Button springs into being as an elderly man in a New Orleans nursing home and ages in reverse. Twelve years after his birth, he meets Daisy, a child who flits in and out of his life as she grows up to be a dancer. Though he has all sorts of unusual adventures over the course of his life, it is his relationship with Daisy, and the hope that they will come together at the right time, that drives Benjamin forward.

If The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

If whispered monologues were currency, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button would settle the national debt.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button?
Director clearly thought The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Just got out of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button actually is?
Honestly, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
