A sweet movie of the kind that shouldn't be made

Rating: 8/10 (30 November 2015)

A wise man once stated "Never make movies about Hollywood, because no body but industry insiders give a crap."
Its not always true, but it is more then it isn't.
Birdman is such a movie. A love song to actors and the acting profession that encapsulates all of how screwed up most of it is. All the main characters are damaged and desperate for validation.
I don't know why IMDb calls this a comedy. Its a drama, and maybe even a bittersweet tragedy. But it IS brilliantly and lovingly made and acted. Sadly, it is still all but incomprehensible to the mass audience.
