Levi J @Lev77 Apr 12 A one-of-a-kind, interesting, creative, provocative masterpiece from Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu!!! A fabulous cast, ingenious screenplay, and masterful cinematography See more Thyaagu C @Thyaagu Apr 10 Thought-provoking banger! Smart, sharp, and deeply engaging. Keaton and Norton are unreal here. Emma Stone shines bright even in her limited moments. Every character is written well and executed to perfection. See more Justin K. @bootsyandbbyratemoofies27 Mar 20 Unique. Shouldn’t have won best picture - but still, worth a watch. See more Daniel Z @Daniell2 Feb 1 Here not a single performance falters. See more Niklas L @RT69374090 Jan 20 The movie is about creating something. Creating a play cost the protagonist everything. Yet, it is not very important to anyone else. Still, it is of utmost importance to him. His dedication and effort is real. Furthermore, the movie is about the protagonist finding identity. Through creating something that is hard to do, he wants to show— to himself and others—that he is a good actor. The movie also critiques the search for identity-through-creation and prestige-through-creation. The protagonists performance is taking up all his capacity, there's little thought given to others (lover, daughter, wife). He is completely focused on his career and this play/creation only, never leaving the theatre except for bars. In the end, however, seeing a flock of birds and feeling the gentle breeze of the summer wind on his cheeks, he remembers that we are in a universe that takes whatever it wants, and that we need to be grateful for every single human emotion and connection that we get.
