Babylon Ratings & Reviews
- Megan Cruz31 de julio de 2025Saw at the Egyptian on 70 mm and my life was changed all over again. I make no apologies for this gluttonous feast of a film. Babylon hive forever.
- mickerdoo17 de agosto de 2025Exhilarating. About the debauchery of LA, relevance, growing old and living to the fullest. Punches you in the face. Wild imagery.
- nicolai108hace 2 dI absolutely don't understand why the reviews of this movie are so bad. Damien Chazelle has created an epic here. Partly very crude humor, but with a lot of love for the medium of film as such.
- chris williams15 de marzo de 2026Interesting Film.
- thomasrogers75314 de enero de 2026One of the biggest love letters to movies I have ever seen, I’m truly at a loss for words Thank God for Cinema
- Thyrius11 de diciembre de 2025This movie has a rare ability to answer a very simple question: Why do we love cinema ?
- stuhannaford14 de julio de 2025I thoroughly enjoyed it, but to do so, you must endure the first half an hour, in order for the film to show its true colours. Just watched in isolation, it is brash, obscene, fantastical, nonsense. However, it sets up the narrative to highlight the utter absurdity of Hollywood and fame. Whilst many view it as a love letter to the golden era of silent movie, I found it anything but. For me, it simply showed human nature when the going is good, against the tribulations when it’s not. Death, over indulgence, depression, prostitution, greed, cry’s for help… none of it is oh so noticeable when the sun is shining, your back is being patted and you’re being celebrated for sheer good fortune. The right place at the right time? Perhaps, more likely the right face for the right person. It’s the dispensable nature of people, to those with power and money. No longer useful? No longer required. It’s a feeling not so unique to those with fame, but relatable to pretty much everyone. Hopes and dreams given and dashed in the blink of an eye, and as the film progresses, the moral decay becomes more apparent. The three leads are all outstanding, in particular Pitt, who embodies the somewhat ironic role of visual appeal versus perceived talent. You laugh with him, you cry with him. His joy and his despair, are both easy to feel. The toss away starlet, the money making up and comer… traits we still see today amongst those that crave the glamour and splendour… unaware of the pitfalls. Maguire, however, encapsulates the dark, seedy, disgusting underbelly of the glitzy facade in his small role, which for those that know, may not be too much of an act. The truly ugly side of the business is acknowledged by some, and walked away from, relatively unscathed. For others, the lure is too great, and despite a set of wood, nails, glue and paint, all hastily being thrown together amidst carnage and chaos, the polish, the lights and the sparkle are impossible to resist until it is too late. Sadly, we have been living the last days of Babylon for quite some time it would seem, as we dance into the shadows ourselves.
- charliesimon77813 de mayo de 2025I loved how this movie showed a history of cinema taking place in the late 1920s and the early 1930s. What I enjoyed the most about this movie was seeing the scenes with Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt in it the most. I thought that Margot Robbie did a very outstanding job playing Nellie LaRoy. Nellie LaRoy was my favorite character in this movie and I liked the movie sets she went on including Brad Pitt’s character Jack Conrad went on. The movie did an outstanding job of going from the silent era to the sound era of movies, Including having a good cast of actors. I would like to watch movies from the silent era to the sound era with Margot Robbie because I thought that her character had the best talent and acting in this movie. I liked seeing her on the movie sets that she went on. I would like to also watch every era of cinema with Margot Robbie because of how the movie showed images of movies from different eras of cinema. What made this movie my favorite was when it showed the movie sets that Nellie La Roy played by Margot Robbie appeared in. Including when Nellie LaRoy, Jack Conrad, and Manny Torres were out in the desert all day doing their movie scene. Including the one movie scene where Margot Robbie’s character was on a movie set and when it showed so many takes because of the sound and pitch. I enjoyed seeing the part where Margot Robbie was trying to fight a snake in the desert at night time and when everyone in the scene started going crazy. I thought that the beginning scene was amazing when it showed the party scene. What I really enjoyed about the movie was seeing the scenes with Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt in it. Including the movie sets they went on. I thought that the ending of the movie was amazing when it showed a history of cinema with images of art and movies. I loved seeing the scenes with Margot Robbie in it the most in this movie. I thought she looked like a princess in this because I loved her costume and makeup.
- Abba3 de agosto de 2025I think I was a bit confused at first. The movie is much longer than I think it needs to be but towards the end, I understood the message. It was trying to send. I actually think it’s a pretty great movie. I think they can cut out about an hour of it to maintain interest, but I did like the story in the end.
- neuroparadox29 de julio de 2025Can't believe this got snubbed by the Academy. It should have at least been nominated for Best Motion Picture Where the Opening Title Doesn't Appear Until After Thirty Minutes... A surprisingly stacked category, including: RRR and Drive My Car 🤣🤣🤣
- Kevin Ward4 de julio de 2025Babylon is all at once a maximalist tribute to Hollywood cinema, an indulgence in its debaucherous excesses, and also an excess of those excesses. For every splash of brilliance there is plenty of poop and vomit and piss and blood and elephant poop and snake venom and rats blood to go around. Chazelle must not have had the hazmat suits required to leave any of it on the editing room floor. But I’m a huge fan of Singin’ in the Rain, and the many homages to that film along with the celebration of cinema in general still managed to leave me wonderstruck. (Highly recommend watching (or re-watching) Singin’ in the Rain) before you see this one.)
- PLEKTSIYA30 de junio de 2025Wannabe shocking, wannabe epic, with a wannabe poignant 'love letter to the movies' ending. Like Baz Luhrmann's GREAT GATSBY but more inept.
- afterthemagic23 de junio de 2025This is one of the most important pieces of cinema ever, and forever will be. Damien Chazelle is a one of a kind director, and I am beyond blessed to exist in a time where he does.
- Tyler S8 de febrero de 2025👍👍 9/10
