To defend the movie from its harsh criticism, if it weren't for crash coming out a year before it, this movie would have been considered groundbreaking. It has all the makings for a twist that'll shock you. My only criticism with... Full review

I don't understand why Babel got such acclaim. I liked the way the story spans 3 different countries, and the casting and acting were fine, but only just fine. There were way too many holes in the plot for me to... Full review

s best movies at home, you might as well watch the edition with the best picture and sound transfer.....s nephew Santiago and Koji Yakusho as Yasujiro are both terrific, Adriana Barraza gives a sympathetic, moving performance as Amelia....s right, if you want to see what Babel might be like with a full-blown 5.1 surround track, this is your one and only chance.....s Labyrinth and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu gave us this haunting, remarkable drama.....Their performances are quite good.... ...

It's a depressing film with hardly any likable characters, so maybe its real point is that there are idiots around the globe.
The mistake Babel makes is trying to be a big important movie, but while it's good at showing the foibles of different cultures clashing, and how the breakdown of communication can adversely affect us all, it does it in a muddled, heavy-handed manner that offers no solutions or real resolutions.

It is filmmaking at its very best.
This film cleverly, carefully and artfully paints a dramatic landscape filled with emotional hotbuttons: racism, fear, childhood, adolescence, parenthood, love, law, lawlessness.

Because of the movie's deftly interlocking stories and its understated approach, Babel succeeds.
Some light stylized grain appeared, but otherwise the movie lacked any source concerns.
This was a satisfying visual presentation.
