Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Judge L — 06 Jun 2015
While watching Birdman two things kept coming to mind. One is that this reminded me of a quirkier version of Black Swan, replacing Ballet with Theater. The second was Michael Keaton was both simultaneously brilliant and distracting, the whole time I kept seeing Michael Keaton playing a caricature of himself.
I enjoyed Birdman it had a lot of great elements I loved the continuous camera with no cuts to make it feel as if you were watching a play. I thought the performances were great especially Ed Norton, and Zach Galifanakis.
Perhaps my favorite parts of the movie were "Batman" voice though I guess in this case it is "Birdman" voice that is in the head of Keaton. Overall a great movie.
