Finch Club - The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Published: May 5, 2021, 3 p.m.

Joon Kim makes a triumphant return to help try to crack the case of BENJAMIN BUTTON.  Who thought this movie needed to be 3 hours long?  What drew Fincher to material so spectacularly ill-suited to his talents?  Where did the sudden godlike omniscience in Benjamin's narration come from, or disappear to?  Why did Eric Roth turn in a script without having cracked the nature main character, purpose of the main conceit, or checked the math on his defining moral decision?  When did Al cry at a movie he loathed?
