Former Superstar

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2015)

It might only be one shot (actually more than one shot, but the movie flows as if there is no cut in it and it works nicely, even if you can imagine where they made some of the cuts), but there are so many layers to it, that it warrants repeat viewing. Obviously only if you liked it. I can understand that some might find this "boring" or not interesting enough, especially if you don't care or don't make connections like Michael Keaton having played "Batman" and knowing about being famous once (and a super hero for that matter).
So if that doesn't float your boat, forget about the rest. Just relax with the "worst movie ever" sayings. That'd be nice, especially because it just doesn't fit. To be in that category the acting should be off and the technical aspect worse than a really bad student movie. But it isn't, it's the opposite. The story is actually gripping if you can get behind it, not to mention the relationships between the characters (what a cast by the way). I loved it, as my rating already suggests, but the quirky humor and the pacing will not be everyones taste. No matter what the Academy said, it's your taste that decides if this is for you.
Finally: The End - what you make of it, is entirely up to you (pun intended)
