And The Oscar Goes To.......

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2015)

Yes it is a tad slow and yes the entire film takes place backstage in a small Broadway theater BUT this is a must see movie.
OK so you have heard of all the hype about Michael Keaton's performance and yes it is brilliant. Why else would he win the Golden Globe for Best Actor and he must surely be a dead cert for the Oscar....HOWEVER...there is much more to this gem of a film.
Ed Norton is brilliant as is Naomi Watts, Zach Galifianakis and the entire supporting cast. The direction is remarkable with some shots feeling like they go on and on forever.
If you like fast paced action movies with changing scenery avoid this at all costs. If you are impressed by truly great acting and want to see a refreshing and unique looking film see it three times like I have.
Loved it and once it's out on DVD I will be adding it to my prized collection of cinematic classics.
