Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Tonysopranoz — 23 Dec 2014

This movie has very unlikeable, stupid, weird, creepy, annoying, depressing, and pretentious characters. this was probably intentional, but it makes watching the movie difficult because its very uncomfortable. you will want to punch every main character in the face because they deserve it. sometimes its hard to tell if the movie is encouraging this kind of terrible behaviour, or if it is just doing these characters very well as a way of satirizing it. if it is taken satirically, the movie goes down a lot smoother, but sometimes it seems like the movie actually wants you to take these characters seriously, which is very frustrating because they are all idiots....

However, somehow, the movie feels high quality and made me think. it wasn't a very comfortable or enjoyable experience, but it did get my mind working in ways it normally doesn't work, which was nice. so I give it a 6/10.
