I think I enjoyed this a lot more than I liked it, which is not a reaction I can remember having before. Some great performances, good score, dialogue that worked more often than it didn't, and I've always been a sucker for long continuous shots - so lots of fun overall. But whenever we got into magical realism territory it just made me think about all the other movies I've seen do similar things in much more interesting ways. By the time we hit Birdman's monologue I wished I was watching Adaptation instead and the ending was eyes rolling out of head territory.

I actually kind of liked Norton's mostly vanishing at the end, though. After that last round of truth or dare everyone was done with him and he certainly didn't have anything personally meaningful to do.
