Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)

Wow, I really, really did not get on with this. There’s definitely something there but the whole thing just felt too pretentious, for lack of a better word. I also didn’t vibe with the faux-single-shot style, and the drums were interesting for about 30 seconds and then annoying for the remaining two hours.
