Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Brent_Marchant — 25 Oct 2014

An audacious black comedy that speaks to our notions of what we believe constitutes love and admiration and what really matters in the end. Despite some occasional lapses in the writing and some periodic pacing issues in the first half-hour, the film delivers on all other fronts, especially its biting humor, intriguing visuals and stellar performances by Michael Keaton, Edward Norton and Emma Stone.

This is definitely not for everyone, but for those seeking a film that will make them laugh -- and think -- this is a terrific offering on both fronts.
