How far up its own arse was Birdman???

Wife went to bed with 40 mins to go.... should've gone too!

Some good actors in it but the whole film felt incredibly self-absorbed and indulgent (I know the premise of the plot was such but it played out like that too much and with no sense of parody)

Wouldn't recommend

On a serious note, Schindler's List is one of my favourite films of all time. A masterpiece. Seen it a few times now, Fiennes' performance as Amon Goeth is outstandingly chilling

Just watched Disgrace - based on Coetzee's book. Not a bad adaptation but the book is definitely better, and a better medium I think for the story being told - the film doesn't capture the narrator's voice of the book ( which is Laurie ), hoping that facial expressions will suffice. Indeed the film probably suffered from trying to be too loyal to the book.
