I mentioned two, so not sure which you are referring to.
Short Cuts is a masterpiece. Robert Altman took nine Raymond Carver stories and one poem and a large ensemble cast and wove them together. It's three hours and I watched it and watched it again the next day. If you haven't seen Short Cuts, you really should.
Interestingly, the publisher put out a collection of the stories used to make the film and 25 years later the collection is still being published:
Short Cuts by Raymond Carver
Birdman is very good. It won Oscars for best film, best director and best screenplay. Michael Keaton plays an Adam West analog trying to jump start his career by putting on a play based on Carver's What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.
I liked it a lot. A comparison of the two is unfair, but I prefer Short Cuts if I was forced to choose.
