Birdman 15
Black comedy. In Birdman (or, the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), Michael Keaton is an actor famous for portraying an iconic superhero. As he struggles to mount a Broadway play, he battles his ego and attempts to recover his family, his career, and himself.
"Alejandro González Iñárritu achieves takeoff in a big way with his crazy, freaky-deaky, hellzapoppin’ showbiz comedy." -The Guardian
"Spectacular. 5 stars." The Telegraph
Why we like it
"Coming on like the male version of Black Swan, Birdman is a very early contender for my film of the year: packed with electric performances from its large ensemble cast, this restlessly energetic depiction of a Broadway play's backstage machinations is both ribald and probingly philosophical, effortlessly witty and elegantly, magically odd." - Sarah C, Box Office Assistant
