Lancaster's brilliant performance anchors Frankenheimer's fine film, a liberal-minded, optimistic celebration of the power of redemption.

This preachy bio pic is a hokey take on the birdman with Lancaster being misused on every occasion.
February 12, 2007
Prison biopic that's more interested in its liberal message about prison reform working for redemption than in anything else.

Lancaster is wonderful; a tribute to the human spirit.
May 07, 2011
An exhaustive abstraction of the John Frankenheimer social outcast
August 09, 2006
Even with its limping screenplay and general drift toward competence rather than excellence, Birdman does pull us well enough into its fistful of compelling characters.
January 08, 2011
Frankenheimer's compelling, if slightly fictionalized biopic of Robert Stroud is extremely wel acted by Burt Lancaster and the rest of the cast, including Thelma Ritter and Telly Savalas.

Absorbing biopic.
