November 11, 2014Overwhelming, breathtaking, exhausting, mesmerizing, and beautiful, 'Birdman' is a true masterpiece of modern cinema. Michael Keaton is phenomenal as Riggan Thomson, a washed up actor trying to regain his relevance in today's society by staging a Broadway play. As he got further into the production of the play, he realized it was echoing his own life more and more and his bruised ego and superhero alter-ego fought to find his place in the spotlight while his life went down in flames. Boasting an impressive supporting cast including Edward Norton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, and Zach Galifianakis, as well as taking place as (mostly) one continuous shot, with truly impressive direction from Alejandro González Iñárritu, 'Birdman' is a spectacular film that I can't wait to watch again.
