If you loved Donnie Darko, try The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Drama / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Donnie Darko, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is

A film that takes one short story as permission to do pretty much whatever it wants. Benjamin Button lives life in reverse, born old and growing younger. Despite a series of adventures, his central relationship remains Daisy, with whom he hopes to meet in the middle. It gives everyone something to talk about, at least.
