The first 3 episodes of this season were truly great but now the no critiques, confusing wins and bad challenge performances are quickly making this into a really bad season.

There is one line in this movie which describes the broadway play which lies at the center of this absurdly beautiful movie as "hyperrealistic" & I think that perfectly explains "Birdman" in one word. You can actually feel the emotions the main character is going through because whilst they may be surreal in some cases they never fail to be relateable. Judging the Riggan as a character is incredibly difficult because you can't help but feel that you'd act in a simmilar way if you were in such situations. The camerawork in this movie is beautifully executed and feels almost dizzying whilst remaining grounded and emersive. There is not one route this movie takes that feels out of place or rushed which makes the viewing experience so captivating. Inurratu manages to tell a story that resonates with the viewer on such a deep human level whilst never feeling pretentious or distance. I cannot wait to watch more of his work & see what his beautiful mind can come up with. Would highly recommend!

While this movie manages to impress with it's state of the art technology, it lacks in all other departments. The performances are flat & each and every one of the characters is deprived of any depth or backstory, making it impossible for the viewer to connect with them. Jumping from one plot point to the other without any time to digest the drawn out action scenes "Gemini Man" deprives the audience of the ability to connect with the story. It truly feels like this underwhelming script was just scrambled together in order to have some kind of action flic to showcase the great new de-aging technology. "Gemini Man" fails to capture any real attention or interest with a plot that lacks any urgency, drive or necesserity. Overall "Gemini Man" is one big miss hit & takes the spot as one of the worst and most dissapointing movies of 2019 thus far.
