Don't think it was the best film of the year by any stretch, though. I think it's pretty forgettable, too. The average person can't really connect with any of those characters. I know I didn't give a shit about any of the shitty people in that movie.
And if it didn't have it's cute LOOK MA NO CUTS gimmick, it wouldn't be worth shit.

Both excellent and forgettable? Hm.
Anyway, I don't have a need to, like, make you have a different opinion on the film. I can totally see how someone who
A.) doesn't have theater or film experience as an actor or crew person, or B.) to a lesser extent someone creative in general,
would find less to connect with in Birdman. I however do have lots of theatrical experience and my adoration of the movie is in large part due to my being able to connect with it in that way.
