“Birdman” Never Achieves Flight


What do you risk, being a critic? This is my work, I risked everything for it. … I liked birdman. and disagree with the new yorker critic.

newyorker:

Richard Brody on the new movie starring Michael Keaton:

“ ‘Birdman’ trades on facile, casual dichotomies of theatre versus cinema and art versus commerce. It’s a white elephant of a movie that conceals a mouse of timid wisdom, a mighty and churning machine of virtuosity that delivers a work of utterly familiar and unoriginal drama. Of such things, too, can Oscar buzz can be made.”
