This may be a bold statement but I can honestly say Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's Birdman is my favorite film of the year! It has the total package of a stellar cast, a relevant and important meta story, and technically meticulous and beautiful cinematography. There's no denying how magnificent the film is but as I was watching it, I couldn't help but feel like the film was made for me (self-involved much?) given my strong preferences of all the spellbinding attributes Birdman embraced and showcased. It is one of those films that reminds you of every single reason why you ever fell in love with film in the first place. Here I list for you the 5 reasons why I loved the film so much!
