ReviewsThe Daily Telegraph UK - I±ßrritu turns the film into a high-wire act - live, unpredictable, light as air, yet also fatalistically locked on course. While it's going on, you're glued to the impossibility of what you're seeing. Once it's over, you can't believe what you saw., Total Film - I±ßrritu ditches time-hopping bleakness for a linear, if loopy, satire that buzzes with brio. If Mel Brooks, John Cassavetes and Terry Zwigoff co-directed a superhero movie, this might be it., Tampa Bay Times - Everything about BIRDMAN is a bold cinematic stretch, from its snare-jazz soundtrack to a climax regrettably stretched too far. The line between I±ßrritu's genius and Riggan's madness gets crossed once too many, but no matter. Birdman has 99 virtues and ignorance isn't one., The Times UK - The reason this scalding industry satire works as well as it does is because it has a grounding in some fairly uncomfortable truths about the movie business even as the plot indulges in flights -- literally -- of fancy., The Independent UK - Birdman, though, becomes funnier and more poignant the longer it lasts., Empire - BIRDMAN is everything you want movies to be: vital, challenging, intellectually alive, visually stunning, emotionally affecting. And welcome back to the big time, Mr. Keaton; you have been sorely missed.
