It’s a good movie, though some opportunities apparently have been missed. The pacing is a bit inconsistent, rushed at the beginning. You‘d have liked to stick a bit longer with Mason lying in the grass in the iconic opening shot, or see more closely what he was digging up in the backyard. Then there are some lengths, and the observer is kept in the distance somehow, not being able to really connect to the characters as you would like to. It’s getting better towards the end, and maybe the continuous flow of life was the point of the whole movie, recognizing that "it’s always now" as time moves on and cannot be bargained with. Certainly an interesting movie that leaves you thinking. Good score with memorable music.

I don't think birdman should've won best picture this year, but I also think that the main reason people are hyped over this is because of the 12 year filming. To me, this is not best picture, but it's still AMAZING and deserves tons of Oscars and close to best picture.

Not since 7 years in Tibet did I feel like I have totally wasted three hours of my life. Not since Magnolia did I feel like I should not be subjected to searching so fruitlessly for a plot. Uugh.
