A great one shot movie

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2020)

I had to watch this movie because this won Oscar for Best Picture in the year that one of the greatest movies of the history of cinema was released: Interstellar! So I had to see why was this movie better than Interstellar that wasn't even nominated and guess what? It wasn't. I'm not trying to make this review about Interstellar but the Academy really got everything wrong that year, even American Sniper was nominated but Interstellar was not, like really? Although all of this I will no try to compare them and give my honest opinion about the movie.
In terms of direction I must say that this was the best one shot movie I've ever seen with smart and beautiful transitions from one scene to another. The photography was also pretty good and overall this has some pretty good cinematography, is not one of those one shot movies that you get bored by the way it his made and for the fact that the camera is always following up, to be honest I even forgot it was one shot at some point. This movie has also a top-notch acting and perhaps some of the greatest acting of the last decade but of course I have to highlight Edward Norton and Michael Keaton!
About the plot itself this is not one of the most brilliant and complex stories that you will see but it's pretty decent. The main character has an alter ego that speaks with him which adds something interesting in the story. The movie is all about broadway and everything about actors and theater and watching this movie really feels like watching a theater and they deserve recognition for that. This contains some interesting dialogues and ideas and I loved the scene when the critics were criticized and the dialogue in it. It also talks about trending nowadays and popularity and in a certain way criticize and satirize it. This also won Best Soundtrack and once again I think that the Academy got it wrong because the Soundtrack is pretty good but ain't even near of Interstellar's, sorry I know I said that I would not compare them but in this certain aspect I really have to.
I don't want to give spoilers about the last movie events but the final scene was interesting and I really liked that! Worth seeing
