A masterpiece, the film is very well thought out to have very few cuts and we don't notice them
Magnificent scenario, incredible music, well-orchestrated color play, in short, nothing but positives, 120 minutes not wasted

Quite chaotic but in the meantime – versatile movie!
Try to immerse yourself in the visual, it's really full of brightless and calmness.

My review of the " Birdman" one of the important and astonish event in cinema industry!!!
I can not call it a movie in which each actor just plays his role . This is like one day from theater actors life with their problems , feelings , emotions , hang-ups ! Movie was made by long takes , that is why we can see everything like in real life , without pauses and frame alternations and we can follow the heroes we can feel us part of the action ! All thanks for the amazing, great work of producer , editor and operator Emmanuel
Lubezki who brought innovation to cinema !
"Birdman " was made by one of my favorite producers and scenarists , one of the best producer in cinematography -Alejandro González Iñárritu whose movies everytime brings something new and stays in soul and mind for a long time !
Michael Keaton ( Birdman) after long pause in his movie career gave here 100 % of his talent , he played very emotional , sensual and everyone who knows about his early career can understand and say that Keaton played his own life , life of man who lost himself , who lost aim of life and tried to find a way out in order to return fame and glory !
Edward Norton showed a little bit crazy and extraordinary person who live with 2 parallels - theatre and reality and you can not understand in which of them he placed now! I didn't like this actor before but in this movie you can see how he truly talented actor how he love what he do !
Emma Watson played very interesting and unfamiliar role of rebel . I consider this is one the best role in her young career and great chance , good experience for next promotion in her life .
Some people can say that "Birdman" is the art house with fantastic elements but it is not true!
"Birdman " is the very soulful movie without genres , it is the mix of everything for everybody! Movie which wound a lot of popular problems of society ! Movie which spoke about "like" hunters and Twitter fans ! Movie which shows how easy to start to be popular by YouTube if you make stupidity because modern people like it !

Re-watched this because I thought I missed something the first time (given the hype around this film).
Didn’t help. Clearly I am not the only one.
No friends added this movie to ‘To Watch’ yet

Masterpiece!

This movie is for certain audience but definitely not me. It was just sad to watch a person so desperately craving for former glory.

People in the movie industry love films about people in the movie industry. Couldn’t finish this movie, gave it a shot but it failed to grab my attention.

I finally watched the movie! Interesting visuals, moving screenplay (i am a sucker for existential crisis, add a failed talent and i am yours, movies!), and, most importantly, really really good acting. This is a strong 4!
