Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Matt C — 09 Mar 2018

For 20mins I loved this film but then in the way the worst Wes Anderson movies also manage to do it really, really started to grate with me. It's so self congratulatory, of course it won Best Picture at the Oscars it's a film about acting, Hollywood lap up that self-loving dross.

If this was an 80min Indie effort I probably would have ended up still enjoying it but unfortunately you just cannot shake the smugness of the whole thing and by the end I'd really reached the end of my tether.
