Crisrav1138's Weekly Review [Week 10]

button is a awesome movie

9/10

I want to see this movie as well. Maybe sometime this weekend.

I agree about Brad Pitt's subtle performance. I love Cate Blanchett a lot but her performance didn't stand out to me here like it has done in other films. Maybe I didn't connect with the character enough...until the end. I loved the scenes towards the end.

Im really interested in seeing this movie, ever since I heard about it the idea really interested me. Excellent review! :)

TBH, I'm really not that interested in this movie but I might see it when it comes out here.

I might see it this week.

Great review!

I don't understand the Forrest Gump comparison personally... If it wasn't Eric Roth(?) who wrote the script, then none of it would've been brought up. Slumdog Millionaire for example is a rehash of movies that were told billionth times since the birth of movies. Every film is a rehash. Finding true love; lifespan; yadayada; there were movies (so many of them) before like that. The story of Forrest Gump isn't original at all, and yes, same goes to Curious Case. It's truly all in the excution.

I liked this film but I too got a little bored through the middle section. I liked the way it looked mostly, spesh the out at sea parts =) ... and I enjoyed Cate Blanchett's performance. She's a great actress. The ending made me cry ... which always scores points for any film =) Generally I agree with what you said in your review.

"Benjamin, we're meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?" ...

Still the most depressing line I've ever heard =)
