I enjoyed and I think understood the movie except for the ending.
He pretended or was delusional about having supernatural powers. Right? Why did Sam look up and smile?

Was Riggan imagining that Sam looked out the window?

I don't recall seeing a movie before where the cameraman was constantly walking backwards. It seemed like sometimes the person of interest would hand off the cameraman to the next person of interest beginning the next scene. And they would start moving. It felt like a roller coaster.
I did a little research and the ending is confusing to everyone. There are a few different theories about how it could be interpreted.
And the same goes for the movie itself.

Because the ending is ambiguous, I don't know if I like the movie anymore.

When I hear the directors intention I may think differently.
