Blown away by Birdman

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2015)

I've seen many reviews here saying this is a boring film but with good characters. I was so captivated by the characters I did not find it at all boring and found it constantly engaging both through what was happening to the characters and through being able to really feel you were there among the action the action due to the way it was shot. It takes a few minutes to adjust to the continuous steady-cam but once used to it it becomes a more rewarding experience as it seems more real. I wouldn't be surprised if other films follow in this style of shooting. Having said that I believe I would have enjoyed the film even if it wasn't shot this way.
