Alejandro González Iñárritu should stick to photography. He's got a good eye, that much is obvious but he seems to have a real problem with his editing. There are some wonderful compositions here that are skipped over so quickly, and some footage that most directors would have le...( read more)

A very well made film and interesting idea. I just felt it was a bit too drawn out and didn't have the impact of something like Crash. Good story but might not be for everyone.

I think it is overrated. I understand it is an international story, but I can't do what was interesting.

I resisted watching Babel for a very long time, there was no particular reason,till my friend told me to watch it. But after having seen it, I have to say that it was not up to much. Basically, the movie was a blend of three intertwined stories. One dealt with an American lady wh...( read more)

January 7, 2009It looks like an interesting film. Pitt has got to be the single most overated actor in western civilization today, but hopefully his subpar acting won't kill the film!

October 14, 2007This Movie Was Good But It's True It Didn't Need That Third Story The One About The Japanese People It Doesn't Fit In The Movie.
You, my friend, need to look deeper into the meaning of the movie than just the surface plot. The movie's themes about being all alone and helpless connect Rinko Kikuchi's character to the rest of the film.
Also there are four stories

Mexico/American border

June 10, 2007Ohmigosh this film is awesome. My best friend took me to it for my birthday and I didn't expect it to be so great coz of the subtitles, but I loved it! Anyone who says it's rubbish has no taste.

June 9, 2007All right, I liked this movie well enough, but the guy that says it's better than 21 Grams is completely out of his fucking mind.
It's better than 21 Grams, but both are still great films.
Babel is the last in the Iñarritu/Arriaga trilogy, and it's the only film that gets the fundamental emotions and message perfect. Babel is far better than 21 Grams. -

May 26, 2007WHAT?! This movie was lame. As far as a plot goes anyway. 4 stories brought together by lack of a common language? I must've missed it. I can't believe this film was nominated for anything. I had to mute the movie a few times because that 'sound' was grating. I was expecting much more.

April 21, 2007It appears as a documentary more than an ordinary movie.
Very political.Reflected parts of social & political lives of today at different countries at 3 different continents.
Very interesting.
