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. ... Full Review

A still from Amores Perros Still this movie amazed me, amazed me at its simplicity, amazed me at its abundance of talent, amazed me at the screenplay, amazed me at the attention and spacing given to the background score, amazed me that movies like these are made and till the director becomes famous, we find it difficult to get hold of. ...

There is no doubt, however, that Babel is well made. It's easy to pan a badly made movie, but it's not so easy to do it to a well-made flick. If you're really wanting a good movie experience, don't waste your time with this one. ... Full Review
