“No true movie lover would dare miss Birdman.” – Rolling Stone
“Sanchez maps out onscreen emotions of Oscar-winning Birdman with precision. Without a filter between his head and hands, music that is wildly conceptual is pushed into the world fully realized.” – The Guardian
“…a funny, frenetic, buoyant and rambunctiously showboating entertainment in which Iñárritu himself rises high and then higher still.” – The New York Times
