Wow...definately unique!! Once you figure out how the groups are related, it makes sense. A great look at 4 very different family`s in our crazy world. Long, artistic, and interesting cinametography!! Will watch it again.
I went with six friends and only two enjoyed this movie and the one girl only claims to enjoy it because she is not the brightest bulb on the tree and doesn`t want us to think she didn`t understand it. The defining moment was when she tried to say it was way better than "Talladega Nights"....haha....enough said. This movie had a few okay moments but was largely uninspired and didn`t do a good job developing the characters. God knows the movie was long enough to do a better job of this. Overall, five out of seven hated it.
What a piece of garbage. Painfully boring.
This movie was terrible. They could have easily edited another hour out of it. The cinematography was painful to look at and the soundtrack gave me a headache. I can`t see how anyone could enjoy this film.
I was really excited after reading some of the reviews of this movie. Friends of mine compared it to "The Constant Gardener" and "Crash". After sitting through this movie I cannot understand the hype. This movie is below average at best and how anyone can mention Brad Pitt and Academy award is astonishing to me. I found his part to be small and not much dialogue to speak of. I did think he was brilliant in "Fight Club" and this performance is good but the vehicle for me isn`t there. I would not recommend this movie as it will not be understood by the masses and for people who do get it they most likely will find it to be just a "bad" fi
I finally found a movie that was worse than "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"or "The English Patient".
VERY WELL DONE!!! i had high expectations for this, after missing the screening at the Toronto Film Festival, but it fullfilled eveything i had for it!!! all the stories are extremely well crafted, well acted and beautifully shot. GO SEE IT!!! will get nominated for something, for sure!!!
This is the Best movie that I`ve viewed in a very long time, and I see a lot of films. I went to see BAbel after my daughter went to the preview showing here in Vancouver Bc. (She is currently working on Case 39,) being filmed here. One of the producers on Case 39 also produced or co-produced Babel. Consequenly the entire cast and crew were invited to the preview. She was going on about what a great film it was so I just had to see it as soon as it opened to the Public. I wasn`t disappointed, and I wasn` bored for even a minute. It is the type of film I would glady see over and over and I will purchase the DVD. Maureen Pithart
I agree with all the previous reviews. But I have rarely come across such a depressing movie. Not exactly something you take your wife or girlfriend to if she was counting on a cosy night out. (Unless of course, she loves indulging in human misery.)
Applause to Mr Pitt!!!! He deserves an oscar nomination!!! FINALLY!!!
