Artsy-fartsy for all!

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2014)

When I sat in the chair I thought to myself, how do I decide upon something I'm being told is superb.
As I sat back and relaxed and waited to be amazed, all I knew was Micheal Keaton washed up super hero/actor/future Oscar winner.
Unique cinematography and soundtrack that stuns and perhaps offends at first (for those of us who just watch movies not search for the art in them) but after the initial shock of it all you settle down into it.
The ability to take a story line in such a defined location that can be summed up in a sentence (Micheal Keaton washed up super hero/actor/future award winner) and engross us in it, develop these amazing characters, each with their own problems and charms and wrap us up in it all until we are close to exploding ... Right along with the characters themselves.
Yes it's artsy fartsy. Yes we are being told it's good. But the great thing about it, is it IS good. This is that one film who the art savants will swoon over. Oscars will be hurled at it, college students will sit in eclectic coffee shops and argue over it. But is you and me, we are the ones who for once, this time, we can go and truly enjoy something off the wall and quality.
