Early Buzz: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button; New Television Trailer
/Film — ... Obsessions of a Pop Culture Nerd: Pitt “gives a nice, subtle performance full of wonder and longing.” … “I wasn’t as moved by this film as I wanted to be. This was number one on my list of must-see holiday movies and I so wanted to be blown away but it just didn’t happen. This movie is a very ambitious effort—it looks gorgeous, there are some groundbreaking special effects and the rest of the cast also do excellent work but it’s the kind of movie you respect more than love.

Paramount Readies its Snipers as 'Button,' 'Revolutionary Road' Reviews Trickle Out [Everyone's A Critic]
Gawker: defamer — ... her press-note chops: The achievement is big and bold and ambitious and life-affirming, but the sentimentality is always toughened by the continual sense of loss and deep sadness at the transitory nature of the human condition. If it sounds like an art movie, it absolutely is, but it's a four-quadrant art film! Or as director David Fincher might put it, a "four-quadrant rim job." That's a milestone, no doubt, but we'd missed an even earlier, spoiler-heavy read from a blogger who was less sanguine: I wasn’t as ...
