Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Calibmcbolts — 30 May 2016

Technically brilliant, but lacks an interesting/flesh-and-blood story to keep the movie structured. Birdman is a thrilling leap forward for director Alejandro González Iñárritu, and it is an ambitious technical showcase but aside from that it has very little to offer.

While I personally do not believe this film should have won "Best Picture", it is still a fine film due to incredibly strong and personal performances from both Keaton and Norton. It does get a little impressed with itself at times, and has about ten different endings before concluding on a ambiguous note.
