Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Anthony V — 15 Oct 2015

A well crafted film, but heavy on the continuous shot gimmick. Michael Keaton gives the performance of his career (and the under appreciated performance by Zach Galifianakis is probably his best too). In fact, the performances of all the actors are so good they seem to be playing themselves, which is also the reflection of a great script, but without the gimmick, one has to wonder if this film would have been half as good.
