Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)
This film made me want to claw my brain out with a spoon!
Right, i went to watch this film because IMDb gave it a rating of 8.2.
Seriously!! Halfway through the film, once i had come to the conclusion that this was a piece of pretentious, self-indulgent tripe i had a proper look at the IMDb user reviews. The vast majority of these were 3 or under. How has this film got an 8.2?? I can't do maths but i know enough to figure out this ain't an 8.2!! Just because a film tries to be different doesn't mean it's good. The camera-work - one long take - whatever, it makes you feel seasick half the time. The music - wow!! A drum!! - Just amazing, so minimalist man. Pretensious nonsense, no purpose to it at all. The acting, so/so but mostly ugh! Im annoyed that this has been judged as an 8.2 on IMDb or maybe that rating has as much a grip on reality as this film
