Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Denise P — 17 May 2016

Odd, original, and completely engaging. Alejandro González Iñárritu cemented his excellence with Birdman. Taking a glimpse into the lives of Broadway actors, we find that the life isnt as glamorous as it looks. The cinematography of the film was brilliant, as there were no cuts, and the film flowed beautifully. Micheal Keaton and the rest of the cast put on incredible performances that may actually surprise you.

My one bit of criticism of the film, however, is due to the "cheesy" scenes towards the end that I felt distracted the flow of the movie and felt a little too comical. Otherwise, Birdman is a brilliant film that will hold its own for years.
