“…Anytime someone sees a black character used as a story tool in a film – in the case of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Queenie (Taraji P. Henson) originally didn’t exist in Fitzgerald’s story – there is a mild cry of ‘There! There! I see a magical negro in the distance! Yes! There!’ One should wonder why Eric Roth deemed it necessary to suddenly introduce the character as a framing device for guiding the CGI Man-Child about, but that’s up to anyone who can be assed to sit through that three hour bore.”
