Its a technical marvel that looks like its captured in one long take (it isn't) and its difficult to really find fault with it. Worth a watch. |
While I enjoyed Birdman for it's performances, I found it doesn't really make for a good film if you get me. It ticks all the right boxes on paper, the acting is amazing, particularly Norton but over all when I finished watching it I felt a bit empty and found the experience a little forgettable. It's sad when the only thing you can remember about a film is a sight gag (Norton's hard dick on stage)!
