A thrilling leap forward for director Alejandro González Iñárritu, Birdman is an ambitious technical showcase powered by a layered story and outstanding performances from Michael Keaton and Edward Norton.

Birdman is a one-trick pony of a movie, but what a trick. The technical achievement alone is immense. Jan 16, 2015 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

Birdman, more than most, seems a film that deserves a second viewing, not only to admire the work of Keaton and his co-stars, but to delve into its many layers. Jan 2, 2015 | Full Review…

It's a quasi-religious fable about a man haunted by the past and facing a profound moral and existential crisis in the present, and it's a dazzling display of virtuoso cinematic technique and showboat performances. Jan 2, 2015 | Full Review…

The characters in Birdman don't always find redemption, but Iñárritu's faith in people has never felt more real. Jan 2, 2015 | Full Review…

The reason this scalding industry satire works as well as it does is because it has a grounding in some fairly uncomfortable truths about the movie business even as the plot indulges in flights -- literally -- of fancy. Jan 2, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Birdman is a sharp, tour de force satire on so many related things... It's so full of details that as soon as it was over, I wanted to watch it all over again to appreciate what I'd missed. May 31, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The manifestation of Riggan's alter-ego is the one disappointing misstep, reaching for symbolic ambiguity but achieving only brief coherence. It's a forgivable blot, but one that prevents Birdman from truly taking off. May 17, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Iñárritu brings a visual flair to Birdman, whisking the camera in and out of backstage corridors -- mostly in one sweeping shot. The whirlwind camera movement captures the insanity of the backstage antics, almost as if it is another character. Jan 24, 2019 | Rating: A | Full Review…
