Rating: 4/5 -- 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. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- 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. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- When it comes to filmmaking, the Michael Keaton-starring Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) is a unique achievement in cinema. Full Review

Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, who won an Oscar last year for sending us out of this world in GRAVITY, is masterful in taking us down the rabbit hole in takes so long they leave you breathless.

This pitch-dark comedy, which was directed, con brio, by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, sizzles as the camera circles, stalks and swoops.

BIRDMAN is a scalpel-sharp dissection of Hollywood, Broadway, and fame in the 21st century. But more than that, it's a testament to Keaton's enduring charisma and power as an actor. -- Grade: A-

3.5 stars out of 4 -- One of the year's most audacious, savagely funny and unpredictable films, it features an outstanding performance by Michael Keaton as the has-been star of a superhero franchise desperate to be taken seriously.
