In Alejandro González Iñárritu’s big, bold, and beautifully brash new movie, one-time action hero Riggan Thomson (a jaw-dropping Michael Keaton), in an effort to be taken seriously as an artist, is staging his own adaptation of Raymond Carver’s What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. 

As Thomson tries to get his perilous undertaking in shape for the opening, he must contend with a scene-hogging narcissist (Edward Norton), a vulnerable actress (Naomi Watts), and an unhinged girlfriend (Andrea Riseborough) for co-stars; a resentful daughter (Emma Stone); a manager who’s about to come undone (Zach Galifianikis)... and his ego, the inner demon of the superhero that made him famous, Birdman.

The cinematography of Emmanuel Lubezki magically prowls, careens, and soars in and around the theatre. As Robbie Collins notes: "Lubezki’s long takes in Gravity were about making you feel the swing and roll of its physical objects, but here the technique, while every bit as astonishing, has an entirely different effect."

Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance is an extravagant dream of a movie, alternately hilarious and terrifying, powered by a deep love of acting, theatre and Broadway, it dares the viewer to consider the everyday magic that we tend to ignore, repress, or resent.
