"Not Bad Comedy-Drama!"

Rating: 6/10 (9 August 2015)

Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Edward Norton, Andrea Riseborough and Naomi Watts star in this 2014 comedy-drama. This story takes place in New York and Keaton (Batman) plays Riggan, a washed-up actor who hasn't made a big hit in a while. Twenty years prior, he made a popular superhero film, Birdman which not only spawned 2 sequels, but made a powerful effect on his personal life. He tries making a comeback with Broadway play, "What To Talk About When We Talk About Love" that may resurrect or end his career. He also tries reconnecting with his daughter, Sam (Stone). Norton (Fight Club) plays actor, Mike, Riseborough (Oblivion) plays actress, Laura and Watts (King Kong) plays actress, Lesley. This isn't bad, Keaton & the cast are good in it and the film sort of makes reference/pokes fun of Keaton's portrayal as Batman. I recommend this.
