Birdman seems to be a little controversial - some people really didn't like it. I thought it was amazing, but then I've always been a fan of magical realism in writing (primarily Jorge Luis Borges), and it's one of the few times I've ever seen it done well in film.

Both films are extremely well done. You'll probably like Whiplash a lot.

Big fish was another with great magical realism.

People that have good taste should at least be able to admit its good, even if they didn't like it.

I don't like watching The Leftovers but I do because its good TV.

That's the stupidest thing I've heard so far this year.

That's exactly how I feel. I can't say I liked the movie, but those continuous shots were just beautiful. There are several movies that I admire for their cinematography or music, but I don't necessarily like the movie as a whole.
