The IMDb rating is well deserved.

Rating: 8/10 (22 February 2015)

There's always a risk when you watch a movie without knowing anything about it. It's a bit like going to the Opera or the Theatre. You may be mind blown or you may end up really disappointed. At least, at the cinema, the financial risk is a lot lower.
In any case, I have to say, I have really liked Birdman and I can clearly see why not only it is nominated to the Oscars but also it is some people's favorite to lift the trophy. And while I mention the Oscars, I should add that Michael Keaton''s performance is absolutely stunning and probably deserves a statue too. No disrespect to the other actors, but if there's any justice, I think it should go to him due to the complexity of the character's personality. However, Hollywood has been known for liking actors whose characters are crippled, ill, and that have lost 20 kilos for the roleso we'll see
in any case, back to the movie! Even though, It has a weirdish thing about it, probably a product of the bizarre nature of most characters, and it unfolds entirely within a theatre, it was really entertaining and I found myself laughing several times with some of the dialogues.
So not only will I recommend it, but I'll be rooting for it to get a metal at the Oscars. If not, hopefully Whiplash!
