Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Daniel S — 27 Jun 2015
I had heard this movie was good, amazing in fact, but I wasn't convinced it wasn't hyperbole. It never failed to deliver! Every aspect of this film is impressive. From the technical requirements of shooting to make the film seem like one to shot, to the incredible performances given by Norton, Stone and especially Keaton it never stops surprising and rewarding you for watching.
The exploration of family, love and regret is complimented by the themes of identity, sacrifice and celebrity vs reverence. The similarities between Keaton's and Riggan's careers only add another layer to this already we'll put together and crafted script.
Add to that the exploration of the relationship between Hollywood and Broadway, and the prejudices both have for one another and you have a highly entertaining, thought provoking, moving hilarious film.
If you a fan of great film making you have to see this movie.
