A washed up superhero

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2015)

Birdman is about riggan Thomson(Micheal Keaton)an actor trying to make a comeback by writing,directing, and starring in his own play. At the same Time, he's dealing with himself, trying to forget the superhero he played 20 years ago. First off, wow Alejandro González lñárritu. How he directed birdman was something very special and something I've never seen before. He shot birdman so it was one shot throughout the whole movie. The performances were so great by everyone. Of course Micheal Keaton did an amazing job playing this washed up superhero star. Edward Norton and Emma Stone did a great job but one performance that was a surprise was Zach Galifianakis. We are used to him playing a funny role but here he played a serious role and he knock it out of the park. Overall Birdman was a great drama, with some funny moments but it's performances and the way it's directed makes it worth being nominated for an Oscar.
