An exploration of the passion of life

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2020)

I've seen many reviews criticise the story, but in my opinion the story is merely "vehicle" for analysing how the main character tries to sort out and understand his life. The movie is about how the voice in Riggan's head and its desire to for fame, money combined with his own lust for approval and his empty past leads to self loathing, culminating in him realising that the one important thing in his life is his family. The dialogue, soundtrack and visuals are all immaculate and helps the viewer realise what it's like to be in Riggan's head.
