George CarmiJan 4, 2023had such a great time. felt like i got cornered at a party by the lamest film major but was just drunk enough after the first 20 minutes to hear him out. tom cruise and brad pitt made two VERY different movies this year where they acknowledge their own legacy in the…

I’d do anything for Brad Pitt to spit in my mouth
Max Easton lovedBabylonVery long, but didn’t drag too much. One of the best films I’ve seen in my life. Love letter to film, hate letter to Hollywood.
Hunter Alleman lovedBabylon8.5/10 Fun from start to finish. The soundtrack was fantastic. Every actor and actress delivered amazing performances. Loved the style and the storyline. Really a great movie all around. Highly recommend, only taking some points off because it was a little too long in my opinion

8.4/10 I gotta say the hate for the movie is a little too much. Great acting, set pieces, writing, and the soundtrack was superb. The runtime was a little too long, had some straight up gross humor I didn’t like, and movie bounces around some but overall a really good movie.
Celt likedBabylonIf you can get past the nudity, elephant poop, Cleo from H2O peeing, projectile vomit, and the 3h 9m runtime, it’s a pretty good film. The scene where Robbie makes her first “talkie”, the beautiful love note to film ending, and Calva’s standout performance make it worth watching.
Swapnika lovedBabylonThis was a spiritual awakening, I’ve never watched a movie like this. Damien is an icon I can’t believe I met him
- Draco likedBabylon
Lost for words. Could’ve been an all time great if executed properly. Once Tobby Maguire pulled up it went downhill. Best I can do is 8.
zxki lovedBabylonMovie makers making a movie about movie making and movies. I really underestimated the powerhouses that are Damien Chazelle and Margot Robbie, and even Brad Pitt. The whole cast and crew for that matter because the size of this was insane in both entertainment and quality. Any Tarantino fan would…

Even though this is a 3 hour plus movie, it's so good that it doesn't feel like it. All the main and supporting characters steal every scene they are in.
MLMark LudasTiring and underwhelming with some excellent performances and good writing, but doesn't know what it wants to be or say.
JMJohn Morganvery different kind of movie and even a little strange at times. The cast was great, and the story was very sad.
- FHFernando Herrera
Beautifully made, beautifully written. If you are a lover of movies you’re going to find a lot to love in this. The only issue I have is it’s way too long. There is plenty that could’ve been cut out from this movie without negatively impacting the story or experience.
BLBruce LangsteinerNo real storyline to follow. Just a bunch of hedonistic shock scenes.
GHGerri HerreraNot for everybody. Great performances by the three leads.
- IMIan Morabito
Historically inaccurate and too long.
ABAlexandru BauerGreat start, weird ending
RNRon NewmanWorst movie of all time. 3 hours felt like 4 or more hours. That is time I’ll never get back

I’ll admit that I found much of Babylon mesmerizing, even when (maybe especially when) I also found it naive, bludgeoning and obtuse. Chazelle’s demolition of the Dream Factory may be rather too taken with its own naughtiness, but coming from a filmmaker who until now has been precociously well-behaved, it can be a welcome blast of impudence and sometimes just a blast.

At its best, Chazelle's film is a cinematic marvel, evidence enough that movies are magical, as it sweeps us into the beautiful, terrible world we recognise as Hollywood even now.

Babylon is often pure mayhem, but it’s the beauty of life and film itself underneath that makes this one of the best movies about movies this year, and one of the best films of 2022.
