Iñárritu's Best Work

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2014)

What a great remarkable film. I had high expectations for it ever since I first heard it was being made two years ago and they were far surpassed. What a comeback performance by Michael Keaton. He IS the movie and the movie IS him. His performance truly deserves an Oscar. Actually, every performance in this movie shines. Norton was splendid and even Emma Stone surprised me with her acting chops (I'm not that big a fan of hers). The film feels like one long take from start to finish with some hidden cuts here and there. This is one of cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki's best works of art. The film is beautiful to look at. Thank you Alejandro González Iñárritu for your dedication in making this piece truly stand out. In my opinion, it's Iñárritu's best work. The time and dedication spent crafting this one shows. For sure he will get some recognition on this one. Got to give it to Mexico's big three filmmakers in leading the way for future generations. Iñárritu, Alfonso Cuarón, and Guillermo Del Toro are some of today's best directors.
