Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Armando P — 28 Jun 2015

One long take, dramatic tension rising, actors and characters who never make the fault of overshadowing one another, and a metaphor that stays poignant and challenging. However, just like.

Most dramas on the stage today, the shock factor was too much the focus from frame to frame in this film. We follow Keaton from almost beginning to end entirely, but we don't make the same leap with him off the ledge and something gets lost in translation to the point we don't understand Stone's character's change. Overall? Birdman is fun to watch.
