Signifies Nothing

Rating: 3/10 (18 January 2015)

To quote a character from Birdman (man on the sidewalk): ...a tale full of sound and fury told by an idiot signifying nothing." That well sums up my opinion of the movie. I enjoy most well done dry humor and satire, but not this one, nor do I enjoy most Woody Allen films either. And, like Woody Allen's work, this one is technically very good. The movie attempts to be philosophical and although I am philosophical, this is just bad philosophy. Most of the characters are engaging in mental masturbation, totally ungrounded in reality and centered on themselves. There are few honest, authentic "real" interactions. Based on this film's user ratings, this is funny to many, but not to me. If you want to watch a film that has meaning, see something else.
