Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by James H — 14 Jan 2017

This film was not what I thought it would be, but I was not disappointed. Birdman has everything that most modern movies lack; wit, integrity, originality and realism. This is a beautifully directed film by Alejandro and the script is so good and the chacters so interesting that talking scenes are just as investing and exciting as any action sequence.

The performances in this film are great too, Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Emma Stone and the rest of the cast all give intriguing performances that perfectly suit their characters. Birdman is incredibly clever character study and a modern classic.
