Loud, Talky Film. By and For Actors

Rating: 5/10 (24 March 2015)

Actors like to be in scenes with lots of closeups of their faces. They also like scenes with lots of intense, impassioned dialog. This film--Birdman_- is full of scene after scene with two actors shouting into each others' faces, about six inches away from the other actor's noses.
This does not necessarily make for a good film. I thought the whole thing was at best uneven. And kind of self-conscious. I never felt I identified with any of these people, or enjoyed them much either.
If you want to see a really GOOD and ENJOYABLE movie on the same theme and story--check out Bob Fosse's "ALL THAT JAZZ."--Much better!
