Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Grant D — 16 Aug 2015
I feel completely blown away! This movie is unlike anything I've seen. 95% of the film is presented with the illusion of being one single continuous shot and it flows at a brisk immersive pace. The behind the scene New York Broadway setting is very cool.
Every performance from every actor is top tier. This also might be the best movie about show business that I've seen. The pop culture/entertainment industry satire is very well done and made very relevant by today's comic book blockbuster craze.
It is also an emotional roller-coaster; sorrow, anger, optimism, joy, amusement, fear; it's all here and the fact that it's Michael Keaton makes the entire story endearing and very meta. This and X-Men are the two best movies I've seen this year.
