I wanted to like this movie. I really did. But I could barely finish it. Just look at great cast. Pretty good. I can't believe it won best picture. I would instead believe if this was a direct-to-DVD flick instead. Head scratcher for sure. So I asked several people I know what they thought of Birdman thinking maybe, just maybe, it was me being overly harsh or simply just not getting it. I must have asked a dozen friends what they thought of it, and only one said they liked it. The one person that liked it was in the theatre herself so perhaps the appeal is for those working in the industry? The constant drumming throughout the movie was annoying also and I just didn't get it.
