...Brad Pitt stars as man who ages backwards in one of the more interesting films of the year.It is very well done and Cate Blanchett is excellent as Daisy, his love interest.
The film reminds of me of Forrest Gump, as it shares the writer, because the film is presented in narrarated vingettes and the main character seems a little slow - he doesn't say much but listens a lot - as it extends over his life.
I'd give it a B.
