Birdman Is Officially As Good As Its Stunning Trailers

The starry satire from Alejandro González Iñárritu (21 Grams, Babel) opened the festival, and it was widely hailed and thoroughly standing ovation’d. (Deadline’s Nancy Tartaglione says Birdman got “one of the best receptions I have ever experienced on the Lido.”) This is the Michael Keaton resurgence we’ve been waiting for, with Variety calling it the “comeback of the century,” and the BBC saying Keaton’s “on screen for nearly all of the two-hour running time, he deserves an Oscar nomination, and he should be seen in many more high-profile films from now on.” The supporting turns from Edward Norton, Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, Naomi Watts, and Amy Ryan are also getting glowing mentions. And that rumor about most of the film being structured to look like one uninterrupted take? True.
