Rather than relying on visual effects or some big, third-act scene, Iñárritu’s BIRDMAN will grab audiences because it is a smart, filmmaking masterpiece that soars simultaneously on a number of levels.
BIRDMAN is a big bang of movie razzle-dazzle from Alejandro Iñárritu. It’s a funny, frenetic, buoyant and rambunctiously showboating entertainment in which Mr. Iñárritu rises high and then higher still.
