Leave your thoughts about Birdman.
| International Business TimesEllen KilloranThere are a lot of moving parts in Birdman, and Iñárritu does a superb job of keeping them together. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyA thunderbolt reminder of the kind of quick-thinking, quick-talking, quick-witted characters that Keaton used to specialize in, and Iñárritu finds the right style to showcase his gifts. |
| Today's Zaman (Turkey)Emine YildirimOne of the most dazzling, entertaining and mind-bending films of the year. |
| Fort Worth WeeklyKristian M. LinThis movie would be worth watching just for the actors, who are clearly kept on point by the long takes. |
| Spliced PersonalitySean BurnsLight as an anvil, Birdman is a sometimes dazzling, often infuriating act of gaseous virtuosity. I was never sure if I should applaud or roll my eyes. A lot of the time I was doing both. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonIt's all a bit satirical. Or maybe not. Look, over there, Shakespeare in a superhero cape! |
| The VineAnthony MorrisThe Birdman/ Batman thing is a cool hook that ties in well with the public perception of Keaton's career. |
| The AustralianDavid StrattonYou are unlikely to see a better American film this year. |
| ScreenwizeSimon WeavingA journey of crisis and transformation as an ageing actor (Michael Keaton) battles colleagues, family and friends, but mostly his own powerful inner demons. |
| The Popcorn JunkieCameron WilliamsA superb examination of the pursuit of validation |
