6'5/10 I am a bit disappointed with this movie tbh... I was expecting something more or at least something else. I am not saying it's a bad movie as it has an interesting plot wrapping all the disease that the main character suffers mixed up with a deeply love story but it has quite a slow and uninteresting parts. Negative part: At the beginning of the film, it got a bit difficult to watch because the young protagonist seems weird but not because of the disease but because it looks kinda fake... I didn't get much of what the character was feeling (maybe it's just me) and it annoyed me a bit because evolved around him. Then I think some parts lasted for too long it got a bit boring and maybe they could've avoided them offering the viwers more curious scenes but eitherway it was bearable. I also felt it like it was (ironically) quite monotonous and they could have showed us more about the environment or smt. Positive: It tells us about a very unusual and intriguing history that wants you to know more about and it's portrayal is quite good. You can appreciate love that comes from family, friends and lovers as well. I thought the end of Benjamin's story was pleasantly nice. Also, the dialogue it's very inspirational with interesting characters and challenging life-perspectives. I saved a lot of quotes from this movie. Director: David Fincher It definetely shows his characteristic vintage cold and dusk effect. It still gives me that fragile and furious "time is getting old" vibe. It felt more aesthethic the movie than what I had expected, coordinating all the elements in the picture. About the cast: I fell in love with Taraji P. Henson character and her perfomance. She was great in the whole movie. Then, also liked Mahershala Ali, Jason Flemyng, Lance E. Nichols... But when it came to Brad Pitt, it just didn't feel right. And I love him a lot and I think he was pretty good in some parts but I just didn't see him in the character much... It was kinds plain and I got a bit bored in some parts. This affects and intertwines with Cate Blanchet perfomance. She's so beauteous and you get the feeling that you want to see more of her just when you realize there's nothing else or much to see as I got bored already... Overall, their perfomance is quite nice considering it is a difficult character to play but there's something that seemed off to me.
