Movie | Birdman | Liked It-ish

I simultaneously hated and thought moments were interesting in this multiple award-winning movie. It focuses on some of the worst aspects of the human condition, mainly vanity that's completely run out of control to the point where the characters will kill themselves out of stupidity. It was hard to watch all of that and yet the cast was so superb that it made the whole wretched affair hard to turn off. The soundtrack was well constructed, mainly consisting of generic epic cues, atmospheric sounds and Jazz drumming. The camera work was notable for being 10% effective and 90% annoying and nauseating. Keaton always ruled and he continues to. I'd love to see him in a more appealing project (Beetlejuice 2, perhaps?). Just not a superhero movie, please. Or a movie that examines its own belly button to the point where it falls headfirst in.
