Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Lou A — 27 May 2015

May just be the most original and well-written movie of the year. Inarritu creates a masterpiece that is as hilarious as it is thought-provoking. Keaton seems as if he were born to play this insightful role of a former superhero-actor, who is desperate to feel relevant.

There is also fantastic supporting performances from Stone, Norton, and Watts. But the film itself has ingenious commentary about how everyone yearns to have purpose in the world and what people find entertaining in this day and age.

And it is shot perfectly, with immaculate cinematography.
