Birdman ou (A Inesperada Virtude da Ignorância) - Avaliações

...some kind of gift from the movie gods...

...both technically astounding yet emotionally rich, intimate yetenormous, biting yet warm, satirical yet sweet.

Sophisticated and hugely entertaining as the film is, there’s no getting around the fact that it’s also something of a novelty act.

’Birdman’ er en svimlende tour de force, en åndeløs svævetur i kulisserne på et teater, den mest imponerende opdagelsesrejse i et selvomsluttet mikrokosmos siden Robert Altman.

Iñárritus portræt af en falleret stjerne, der som en anden Fugl Phønix kæmper for endnu en tur mod solen er både tragisk, rørende og meget morsomt.

...soars on a purely cinematic imagination, defying formula, expressing ideas in completely visual ways.

...especially gratifying in contrast to the humorless, mopey dramas that Iñarritu has made in the past...

Iñárritu is a magician of transference; he strong-arms the audience into sharing Riggan’s racing heart rate and roiling gut-feel.

This is grand, spectacular, star-powered cinema – a cosmological blockbuster – that makes us ask again what cinema can do and be.

Vilket otroligt jobb Gonzales Iñárritu har gjort. Det var länge sedan jag såg en så energisprakande film.

…en film som inte liknar någonting annat.
