My mom told me about this movie a few years ago. Her plot synopsis kinda freaked me out so I wasn’t in the mood to watch it.

The movie is about a baby that was born like an old man. His father leaves him on the doorstep of a black couple who raise him.

After thinking he would die within days, Benjamin grows up to become a creepy Old Man-child thing.

However as Benjamin gets older, he really gets younger.

Such a great little tale (based on an old F. Scott Fitzgerald short story), and one of the most melancholic endings I’ve ever seen.
