So I watched this last night. I went into it only knowing a vague back story and the fact that Keaton and Norton were in the movie. I also knew that it won all the awards and was praised by critics...so I had lofty expectations going into this. I was blown away. Part of me was getting caught up into the story, but the other part of me was mesmerized by the long takes, the steadycam, and the unbelievable timing that was required to move from scene to scene. I will say this, Michael Keaton was robbed of an Oscar for Best Actor. He had the bad timing of being up against someone playing a character with a disability. Because we all know from experience that an actor playing a character with a disability, retardation, etc will typically win the award. Keaton was brilliant, riveting, and on the mark for the whole movie. I believed him and his delusional world (or is it delusional??). Hats off to Norton and Emma Stone as well. They both delivered in this movie as well. I did some research this morning and found that many scenes had over 15 takes or more! Good stuff.

Saw this recently as well, and it is fantastic. Just a brilliant movie. Loved it. Emma Stone is now my new celebrity crush.

I've watched it twice and I cannot say enough about this film. The script, acting, directing, were all brilliant. I agree about Emma Stone.
