Wordiezett So much average
GazerRise Fantastic!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
sbithell-65441 I watched birdman afree hearing the success it had at the oscars and the Academy got it right. It is the best role I have seen Michael Keaton play and Edward norton and Emma stone are a fantasy pairing of supporting actors. However the stand out quality of the film is the cinematography- the follow shot throughout is fantastic and extremely effective with seamless cuts. Overall it is a must watch film
kameshpratap One of the best movies I have watched in my entire life. Just amazing.
conradleimgruber This movie is beautiful in everyway and truly shows a part of Hollywood that people ignore- the feeling and emotions of the celebrities. This movie explores themes of belittlment and not being good enough in fascinating ways, I was impressed all the way through. This movie is truly a wonderful experience from start to finish.
zzthatkidzz The film is a rich complex piece of cinematography. It is not a 'movie' but a piece of cinema which satirises 'movies'. It deals with multiple concepts through its diverse array of characters, which I hope allows for everyone to leave with something at the closing credits. For me it has mostly helped me have a better understanding of the manifestation of mental illness, but for others it may open their eyes to the shallow nature of our technocratic age or the consequences of the human ego.This genius piece of cinema is something to be truly respected. As we now respect works of Shakespeare or Chaucer, we should respect this film In the same way. I believe this because of the similarities between both pieces of art, Shakespeares work holds such fascination due to its philosophical qualities but also the limitless interpretations that can arise from his work and this is also true of Birdman. Therefore the film is something to be admired, thought about and analysed, it is not to be consumed simply as a 'movie'.
