Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Frank G. A — 18 Aug 2015
A long dark night of the soul, thrillingly directed, acted, photographed and scripted - and anchored by a superlative central performance by Michael Keaton as a man visibly cracking up as he tries to rescue his career with a self-penned adaptation of a Raymond Carver story on Broadway.
Shot cleverly in an apparent single steadicam take, but actually taking place over several days, this extraordinary movie has brilliant supporting performances from Emma Stone, Ed Norton and Zach Galifianakis.
Any performer will recognise these people.
