Emma Stone’s “masterpiece” drama with “gripping” plot gets new UK streaming home

by

I’m so excited that Birdman is now available to stream in the UK! It’s a really incredible film – I think it’s a masterpiece, honestly – starring Michael Keaton and Emma Stone. Keaton plays Riggan Thomson, an actor who’s past his prime and best known for playing the superhero Birdman. Alejandro González Iñárritu directed it, and it’s just brilliant.

A former superhero actor, now past his prime and struggling to stay relevant, tries to revive his career by putting on a Broadway show.

As he tries to put on the show and opening night nears, he faces internal conflicts – struggling with his pride while also trying to rebuild his family, get his career back on track, and rediscover who he is.
