I hated  Birdman and i found some of his previous films  very pompous and tedious. But this, this is a  masterpiece. Watch it for the photography. Watch  it for the choreography. Inarritu takes his time with  every scene, but i could not think of anything that  should be left out, everything's in its right place. An overall amazing cinematic experience.Poetic , violent, harsh, bold cinema. DiCaprio is as usual  excellent in a different role than his previous  filmography. Nothing remotely similar comes to  mind in the way this story is shot and told.  Stunning!
