Storyline


Actor Riggan Thomson is most famous for his movie role from over twenty years ago of the comic book superhero Birdman in the blockbuster movie of the same name and its two equally popular sequels. His association with the role took over his life, where Birdman is more renowned than "Riggan Thomson" the actor.

Reviews

i know, right now as I type this.., that these 2 hours I will wish for with all of my heart while laying in a fetal position as I take my last breath on this planet. Solid acting.., but what a load of crap this film was. Get over yourselves people. Painfully slow.., painfully over dramatic.., painfully so wanting to be an homage to great film making that this movie will never be. Keaton is great in it. Poor guy did not have much of a story line to go with.., the rest of the actors really wasted their talents on a high school draft of a script. It really looks like a 10th graders attempt at an 'ART FILM'. The film critic scene alone.., describes the entire reason for this movie in regards to the director. Please save yourselves and go rent 'Bridges of Madison County 4' It will be a much more worth while experience.
