Really enjoyed this unusual story. Well acted and gripping despite longer than normal length.

Bizarre, but it works

When Benjamin is older, the film is not so entertainng, but as he gets 'younger', it becomes a good old fashioned love story and had me hooked. Superb acting from all the stars. I am glad I watched it.

Gotta watch this film

What a great film. Intelligent, thought provoking and sensitive. Pitt is at his best. My best film for a year or so.

Charming, but 15 minutes too long

Like many other reviewers, I found this film about 15 minutes, maybe 30 minutes, too long. However, I still found myself enjoying it. The two lead performances are perfectly cast; as is expected both Brad Pitt and particularly Cate Blanchett are excellent. Brad Pitt carries off the eponymous role with charm, wit and empathy whilst Cate Blanchett is beautiful to watch, bringing real emotion particularly towards the conclusion. David FIncher's direction is notable - you really feel at times that you are in the scenes with the characters. There are laugh-out-loud moments as well as moving scenes and the whole fairy-tale is wonderful to watch unravel. If only it could have been a little shorter, it could well have got 4.5 or even 5 stars from me.

I had high expectations of this film. It did not meet them unfortunately. Special effects very good but it just didn't have any great highs for me, just sort of plodded along. It is an odd screenplay (book) but I could have gone with that if it just came alive! Not for me.

Thought this film would be better than it was. It was good but not as good as the reviews I had heard. Watchable though.

I really like Brad in most films but this was just a bad film, he acted it quite well but the editing could have really made this film, but it just wasnt edited right a very poor film and slow.

Decent but not up to the hype

A Customer from Nottingham, 14th November, 2009

Whilst compelling to watch until the end to see how the reverse aging concept plays out, it often felt like a wannabe Forrest Gump but fell well short of this. A bit disappointing overall but I've seen much worse.
