Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Melissa H — 09 Oct 2015
Michael Keaton - brilliant. Always has been. Supporting cast - very good. Storyline - very modern and entertaining. This movie contains a lot of "the inside" of 21st century show business. But it is not completely perfect.
Believe it or not - there are some contrived elements - mostly because it seems that the end game is to please the film festivals - which means every film must rank a certain level on the Wes Anderson "quirky and weird" scale or the Cuaron scale.
Still, the movie is worth seeing once - however, without Keaton, it may have fallen flat.
