Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Graham B — 29 May 2015
Fascinating on a technical level (shot and edited to look like one continuous take) and brave for including a jazz drum soundtrack over almost the entire film. Great performances from all, let down somewhat by a flimsy story and the bolted on fantasy /existential imaginings of Keatons lead character, with no reference points to anchor them.
Despite these shortcomings a very enjoyable watch.
