Director : Alejandro G Inarritu
Running Time : 120 mins
Riggan Thomson (Keaton) has been typecast as the superhero he played twenty years ago, but now he wants to prove he is more than just a man in a cape by producing his own Broadway show, but fate doesn’t seem to be favouring him as one of his leading men is taken out of the picture and he is forced to employ a new lead with only days before opening night.
This was an interesting movie that gives us a view of a failed actor trying to rise above and do something worthy with his skills, but for me it failed because of its inability to produce any truly likeable characters. I know there are movies like Sideways where you’re not supposed to like anyone, but with this I felt like we were supposed to be rooting for Keaton, and I didn’t feel the impulse. Granted there are some good performances, particularly Norton who I thought was very good, but all in all this felt piecemeal and not very well thought through.
