Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Criticalmighty — 10 Nov 2014

Not only was the single camera-shot technique brilliantly executed, we are treated to a front row seat to witness the paranoid and insecure perspective of the film's main character, Riggan Thompson. The dialog was masterful and and the performances had me believing I, too, was paranoid and insecure.

Kudos to director Alejandro González Iñárritu and his financial backers for taking such a bold risk, something largely absent in Hollywood. And any film that questions the credibility and relevance of critics get extra points.
