Babylon - Reviews

Brad Pitt suaves through a grand hymn to golden age Hollywood.

...a hot mess of sex, drugs, and silent films.

Parties, premieres and mishap-ridden shoots vividly conjure up an immersive vision of Hollywood’s golden era, albeit one just a coke-snort away from debauchery and degradation.

It’s a comeback from a director bruised by the box office failure of his last film, and a strive to return with something bigger, bolder and dirtier. It’s Hollywood.

...this epic about Hollywood's origins has enough standout performances and cameos to make it worth watching.

Shimmering, mournful, and riotous, Babylon is one of the year's best movies, thanks in part to a star-making performance by Diego Calva.

You will seldom find a film as simultaneously romantic and repulsive as Babylon.

Damien Chazelle's epic, multistranded, vibrant, debauched, and heartfelt tribute to the golden age of Hollywood...

If La La Land depicted Hollywood at its classiest, then Chazelle’s new film about his favourite subject flips the switch. Sweet love songs and smooth jazz are out. Rioting and raunchiness are in.

...rik på snygga detaljer och roliga scener.
