Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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

hanoufjaloud I watched this two years ago then I accidentally pumped into its page and I remembered the two hours I've wasted of my life. It made me sad all over again.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I must admit that I had initially expected this to be somewhat of a superhero movie, so it was quite something else entirely as I sat down to watch "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)".Michael Keaton carries the movie quite nicely, and Edward Norton was a great supporting actor, though he was given way too little screen time in my opinion. I think that Edward Norton really would have given so much more to the movie if he had a bigger role or more time on the screen.The storyline was somewhat confusing to me, although still entertaining enough for the most parts.I did, however, find the movie was way too long though, and it seemed like it could have served it better if they had trimmed it down from two hours to something like an hour and thirty minutes. And I feel that very little would have been lost to the movie as a whole even if they had edited down to an hour and a half.This is not the type of movie that warrants a second viewing, as it just didn't have the contents for supporting that.

moonbus69 I did not see this back when it was in theaters.... I finally watched 'Birdaman' for the 1st time just last week. And good I waited. Think I appreciate the story and the main character, played expertly by Michael Keaton, now, as I can relate to the struggles he was going through. I'm not an actor, and have no allusions to 'Fame', even the 15-minute variety that artist Andy Warhol once spoke of... But, being a near senior citizen, the trials and tribulations of anyone that is over 'a certain age' is something that I, and anyone in that era of life, that also likes a thoughtful AND entertaining story/film, surely can relate to.... We might all not have an 'inner voice' that insults us, and eggs us on to 'Do Better' (while said voice appears, now and then, visibly - and, wearing a super hero suit), but we are fallible, sometimes (often) ego-driven creatures.... and simply just want to know we are loved (lovable?) and appreciated - as we go faster and faster through this often hectic, and at times crazy & stressful existence, on this tiny speck floating in an immense and indifferent universe! This film is both fascinating and a bit perplexing, so I will have to watch it a second and third time... very soon. But, if you like watching odd & unusual types of films: one that has humor, occasional fantasy & action, and social commentary - and especially, if you enjoy the underrated and excellent acting of Mr. Michael Keaton - then 'Birdman' just might be the film for you? Enjoy!
