    Good movie...didn't like when he turned into a baby though. So sad :(

    Did I love the movie, no...did I like it yes. Were the make-up effects clever, yes. Were Cate and Brad good yes (mind you I liked the secondary actors better)...glad I saw the film but too long and parts of the story rather boring...but Hollywood will love and rave about it.

    I agree with the reviewer that says that many people who comment on this thread went to a wrong movie. This is a superb film. Yet it’s a long one.

    i would have walked out if I wasn't with my wife. I LOVE Fincher...and this was not good. It played out like a poorly written novel, so much more could have been done with this story. The drama was not there and I have no idea why people were laughing... The acting was great and some fantastic mackup give it three stars from me... but I've never been so uncomfortable at the theatre.

    So many different things could have gone wrong with this movie! HOWEVER it was spectacular, amazing, incredible seriously though there aren't really words that can describe the depth this movie has. I'm not a huge Pitt fan however he's totally 100% won me over with this film. THE story was great. Cinematography amazing!!!! YOU HAVE to see this movie!

    Slow at the beginning, but the story evolved well after that, and we enjoyed it immensely. Brad Pitt is probably not the right cast in this one. He seems too one dimensional, and lame. His mother, Queenie, was excellent. A very interesting perspective to life in reverse. Well worth seeing.
