This movie is a movie where actors are on point and on top of their game.
Brad Pitt has grown as an actor and gives his best performance to date. Rent “Meet Joe Black” and then watch this movie and see how much he has improved. He deserves an Oscar for the role of Benjamin Button. What else can anyone say about Cate Blanchett, she is a brilliant actresses and she will take Meryl Streep’s throne when she is done. Remember Julia Ormand? She was the “It Girl” back in the 90’s and she shows up in this movie after the studios tried to make her a star. Remember “First Knight”, “Sabrina”, and the nail in her coffin “Smilla’s Sense of Snow”? Well she does a good job in this movie as a character actress, which is what she does best.
The movie has it’s slow points but it’s Pitt’s “Forrest Gump” with New Orleans set as the background.
Tariji P. Henson, who was outstanding in “Baby Boy” does an great job as Benjamin’s mother. Thank god they did’t give this role to Queen Latifah.
