Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Andri K — 23 Jan 2019
An over-long and annoying exercise in (sort of) magical realism. Michael Keaton is fine in the title role and goes a long way towards redeeming the project. But Edward Norton and Emma Stone's aggravatingly over-the-top performances are exhausting to watch.
The concept of the 'single take' is claustrophobic and ultimately pointless. I had been looking forward to watching the movie with boxxy software app. Very disappointing.
