Okay... Birdman wasn't just better than Nightcrawler, it's one of the best films I've seen in a long time. It was start to finish amazing and yeah, Keaton for sure gave the performance of a lifetime. It was actually brilliantly acted all around and oh my god that cinematography! Easily top film of 2014 hands down and one I'll for sure be watching again.
Birdman, Birdman, Birdman, Birdman, Birdman, Birdman.
