Birdman (2014) is a comedy-drama about an aging film star who wants to reclaim his former glory. The critics applauded it wholeheartedly for the impressive technical execution making it look like a one, continuous shot. They also admired Michael Keaton’s powerful acting and the taut storytelling in the film. It snatched away the 2015 Academy Award for Best Picture. However, the fast-moving narrative and chaotic sequences did not sit well with the audience. They thought it was vain and trying too hard.
