2nd best movie of the year after Boyhood.
By what measure? Do you mean that you enjoyed it more than all but one other film?
It was logistically impressive, to be sure, and Keaton is always great. Most of the personal stories, however, did nothing to advance the storyline of the birdman. The lesbian encounter, for example, was entirely gratuitous. Yeah, I got it... it was an allusion to Mulholland Drive.. the inside jokes didn't make for a cohesive whole. And then the ending mocked the previous 100 minutes... if we were supposed to believe that the flight didn't happen in real time then it contradicted the point of the non-cut linear filmmaking.

I wasn't a huge fan either.
Whiplash and Boyhood were the best two I saw this year.
