The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Now there is a film.

Visually stunning. It has to rank as one of the best films I have seen in the way it evokes a sense of time and place. It is very well acted.

(Certainly a far, far better film than the one that won the Best Picture at every award ceremony going.) The film, although emotional, never went for cheap and manipulative choices and sped by in a whirl of beauty and grace.
