Angel B @selfcareangel Sep 19, 2026 Birdman is such a strange but fascinating movie. The whole one-shot style makes it feel chaotic and almost dreamlike, and Michael Keaton absolutely kills it in the lead role. It’s funny, uncomfortable, and surprisingly deep, especially when it comes to fame, ego, and wanting to feel important. Not a movie for everyone, but if you like something different that gives you a lot to think about, it’s definitely worth watching. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 13, 2026 Birdman = a 4.0 star Movie! See more Ben B @suikofreak412 Aug 18, 2026 I've watched this multiple times See more Madam D @Madam1948 Aug 18, 2026 One of my favorite offbeat films. Keaton always entertains me, with his mountain of acting skills. Other characters held up their end by a combination of genres. See more Carlos P @RT13589556 Jul 25, 2026 Its an absolute masterpiece. A must see. Sometimes funny, sometimes dark, sometimes weird, but deeply enjoyable. Without spoiling it for you, the film will leave a mark in you, the continuous shots are impressive, the acting is solid, the story is strange and surreal wrapped around a "this could really happen to an actor" story. A+ See more Chris S @Janomi Jun 27, 2026 Birdman is one of the most original films I've seen. Alejandro G. Iñárritu and his collaborators craft a screenplay that effortlessly blends satire, psychological drama, comedy, and fantasy while exploring fame, ego, artistic ambition, and the search for relevance. It's surprisingly funny, but there's also real emotional weight beneath the humor. Michael Keaton delivers one of the best performances of his career, and his history as a former superhero actor gives Riggan Thomson's struggles an authenticity that's impossible to ignore. Emmanuel Lubezki's stunning cinematography, designed to appear as one continuous shot, pulls you directly into Riggan's increasingly chaotic world. Edward Norton is also outstanding, stealing several scenes as the brilliant but unpredictable Mike Shiner. The unconventional storytelling won't connect with everyone, but its ambition and execution make Birdman an unforgettable experience. See more Read all reviews
