Can see why people either loathe or love it but I am happy to say I fell into the latter camp. Incredible, original filmmaking. Need more like this. Nice to see two left-fielders vying for Best Picture this year.

Saw it last night and loved it. I was so engrossed it feels like one continuous take. The mirror shots and that track through the balcony railing - how?? - and love the occasional drummer. Everyone is excellent, and Naomi Watts much better here than as the naff Russian stripper in St Vincent. Go and see it!

I expected it to be another self grandiose movie about filmmaking and the struggling artist. It much greater than that, and more about loss, self worth and life fulfillment. The camera work was extraordinary, saturated with long takes and tricky movement. The acting was perfect.
What a great film.

My brother (a jazz drummer and music teacher) just told me more about the score – Antonio Sanchez did a live performance of it at the Ace theater in DTLA.

Proper drummers film. I also heard that it lost out on grammy awards because it was all improvised.

mid-level art in media debate at best. entertaining performances but too full of itself - perfect for a best picture.

Just watched it again. Best film in a long time.
- You don't watch that many movies?omahadesigns
- Yes, and I went to film school. The making of that film is so much more complex then any that has been out in awhile.instrmntl
- The making is amazing, the story not so much.freedom
- Yeah the story is no Chinatown. As I get older though the self reflecting movies hit me a little bit harder.instrmntl

After hearing all the hype I finally watched it last week. I didn't like it all. The camera work was pretty cool and the thought of Michael Keaton playing a washed up super hero actor was pretty funny but in now way was this the best movie from last year. Best Direction maybe but not best picture.

People getting all upset about this shit man... why?
spend your anger on vin diesel or shia lebuff movies. Seriously you are being fed like 14 fast and furious movies and who knows how many transformers movies and you complain about this?There's a show on tv that people sing (or dance) in front of judges and people choose to complain about this?
come on man...

its just the usual backlash every best motion picture gets when they win. would have happen to any other movie and it happens everytime

Pretentious, over-produced wankery made only to win an Oscar. It was like they were showing off with all the amazing camera work and endless tracking shots...oh hey, look at what weee can do. Cunts.
I tried watching it, fell asleep, tried again and fell asleep again.
- yeah they should just stick to the Hollywood formula we love so much and will never get sick of </sarcasm>moldero
