...also directed 'Birdman.' That's a great movie!

and the revenant! But i liked this movie

"and the revenant!"

Which I found to be a piece of garbage, but this is just my opinion. Babel and Birdman in another hand are both amazing!

Amores Perros is the best Iñarritu's movie.

That's the funny thing about opinions!

I watched Birdman several months back and mostly hated it. Great cinematic style, but just about everything else was pretty bad about it.

Similarly, Revenant was super overrated and literally just a lengthy movie of "Let's see, what other bad things can we make Leo do?" Again, some nice cinematography, and I was really pulled in at the beginning of the movie with the fighting, but it slowly fell apart as it went along.

I just rewatched Babel tonight and loved it. People complain about things like how the Japanese story shouldn't be there because it is paper thinly connected in plot - but it fits the overall theme of the movie very well, and isn't something just thrown on top.
