One: I dunno from Bird Man. No expectations. Michael Keaton?Two: You are sitting Row A, Center. Sometimes you are sitting on stage.
Three: This film is vibrant, alive, compelling!
Four: Cinematography, art direction, STAGE DIRECTION, is wonderful.
Five: At times you are part of the action gliding with the camera.
Six: Stage acting personae is the call. This is not really a film.
Seven: Oskies all around. This could be the movie of the year.
Eight: The storyline runs a tight parallel to Keaton's own career.
Nine: Keaton is back armed with new dramatic chops.
Ten: Did I say Oskies all around, yet?
PS. Must see. This is almost art.
