Birdman is not what you see on the surface. It has layers upon layers and is making statements on what film was and what film is becoming. The wall between the viewer and the production has never been so translucent. With an amazing cast, exceptional direction and an expressive screenplay; Birdman thrills. — Mark Hicks
