Critic Reviews
-
John Petrakis, Chicago Tribune
This film would be an excellent companion piece to Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire, which deals with angels looking down on this scarred city.
-
Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
Hubertus' deliberate flouting of any chronological order turns his film into an incoherent collection of conversations and images.
-
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times
Siegert allows Berlin Babylon to fulfill the promise that art and architecture can have.
-
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
The movie's concern with historicized urban planning may seem somewhat anecdotal to New Yorkers, but its textual torque is disquieting.
-
Ken Fox, TV Guide's Movie Guide
We're hearing the voices of a conflicted nation as it considers how to handle its tumultuous past while defining itself for future generations.
