The pure definition of a masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2019)

To me Birdman wasn't just a film. It was an experience. This is truly one of the best films I've ever seen.
Everything in this movie was done so perfectly that I couldn't find any flaw with it. Michael Keaton gives the best performance of his entire career and one that isn't just Oscarworthy but one that is ground-breaking and will be remembered for a long time. The rest of the cast also provided some extremely powerful performances. The movie is made to look like one continuous shot as if it were a play which solidified my judgement of Alejandro G. Iñárritu being one of the best filmmakers present. His direction brings a whole rawness to the story and characters that makes them believable.
The cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki is incredible. You feel like you're at Broadway witnessing this character driven drama and immerses you throughout the film. The story handles so many themes and ideas like Family, Hollywood, Critics and many more to a point where you feel worried whether the film can convey so much in a runtime of 2 hours but I can assure you everything is handled perfectly.
Overall, this film is a MASTERPIECE! You won't see anything like Birdman and its commentary on Hollywood, Actors, Family and Critics is sure to make you think. I HIGHLY recommend this! This is what cinema is all about.
