Birdman is incredibly clever character study and a modern classic

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2017)

Birdman is the kind of film I can watch again and again, with each viewing lending a new appreciation for some small detail; a camera angle, a seemingly throwaway line, a drum beat.
This film was not what I thought it would be, but I was not disappointed. Birdman has everything that most modern movies lack; wit, integrity, originality and realism. This is a beautifully directed film by Alejandro and the script is so good and the chacters so interesting that talking scenes are just as investing and exciting as any action sequence. The performances in this film are great too, Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Emma Stone and the rest of the cast all give intriguing performances that perfectly suit their characters. ---From Yidioo
