I'm really sad that such a callow filmmaker has won the Oscar for making such a lackluster drama!

Rating: 7/10 (26 June 2019)

The moral of the story is annoyingly unabashedly on-the-nose. I'm glad the protagonist has figured out a way to deal with the nose at the end. Adding insult to injury, It's safe to say that Iñárritu went too far with this surrealist denouement. Plus, the film is really overlong. Actually, I think the entire last thirty minutes should have been dealt with the same way Riggan has dealt with his nose. Besides, there must be a boring scene every now and then that is also somewhat pointless. I believe this is a result of the overstuffed nature of the plot. I don't reckon there's anything worse than a pretentious plot with a lackluster execution.
