Watch it at your own risk

Rating: 1/10 (12 February 2015)

Some people think that movies must be endured and the more painful the experience, the better the film must be. In which case, Birdman would be highly commendable.
For me, watching a movie must be a pleasurable experience. Therefore, I do not care much about critics' opinions. Often, the most praised movies are excruciating to watch, because they must be very clever and profound.
Birdman is one of such movies. A darling of the critics and the entertainment establishment, it is claustrophobic movie, cursed with a bunch of actors performing in hysterical mood and one of the most annoying "soundtrack" in the history of the talkies. I seriously regretted that the time of silent movies is so over.
In fact, what I regretted most is having watched Birdman. Do it at your own risk, but if you get a shred of pleasure out of this, you must have masochistic tendencies.
