mid-level art in media debate at best. entertaining performances but too full of itself - perfect for a best picture.

My brother (a jazz drummer and music teacher) just told me more about the score – Antonio Sanchez did a live performance of it at the Ace theater in DTLA.

Proper drummers film. I also heard that it lost out on grammy awards because it was all improvised.

Watch ‘Sesame Street’s’ Wonderfully Surreal Parody of ‘Birdman’

I expected it to be another self grandiose movie about filmmaking and the struggling artist. It much greater than that, and more about loss, self worth and life fulfillment. The camera work was extraordinary, saturated with long takes and tricky movement. The acting was perfect.
What a great film.

Saw it last night and loved it. I was so engrossed it feels like one continuous take. The mirror shots and that track through the balcony railing - how?? - and love the occasional drummer. Everyone is excellent, and Naomi Watts much better here than as the naff Russian stripper in St Vincent. Go and see it!

Can see why people either loathe or love it but I am happy to say I fell into the latter camp. Incredible, original filmmaking. Need more like this. Nice to see two left-fielders vying for Best Picture this year.

i must have missed the boat on this somewhere. i thought it was good but in no way revelatory. fun flick but i don't understand the hype.

mg33, the ambiguity of all the crazy shit that happens is all part of the experience.

I really want to see it soon. Can someone tell me - and only if this does not spoil the movie - are the crazy things that happen happening in his mind, or are they really happening? Shit blowing up, that creature flying behind him, etc.
