This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This film has loooot of themes, but I always resonate most with the theme of humanity and the search for meaning. Here, I’m not really settled on why I think Riggan was able to achieve true freedom at the end, or if he was finally able to find his place in the world again. It’s an incredibly dense film and I think it will take me a while to digest it’s complexity.

Such a nothing movie. There is nothing here other than some surface level commentary and satire. None of it is coherent or compelling, you’re left waiting for something to hook you into the story and it never comes. Eventually you just end up waiting for it to finish.

Wanted to watch incase Fernanda Torres does manage to scoop the Oscar but it’s worth it even beyond that. A really beautiful, grounded film. It succeeds in making you feel each and every emotion of the characters, and that’s a testament to not only the acting, but in my eyes more so the vision and the editing of this film, I really enjoyed it.

I would still root for Adrien Brody for Best Actor in spite of the AI controversy. In MY opinion, the respeecher isn’t a big deal in the context it was used…
