Review of Babel (2006)

By Michelle Orange (458) for Reeler (63) on 09 Feb 2007

Review of Babel (2006)

By Philip French (1,151) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 27 Jan 2007

Review of Babel (2006)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 20 Jan 2007

Well acted and handsomely photographed, but still extraordinarily overpraised and overblown, a middlebrow piece of near-nonsense: the kind…

Review of Babel (2006)

By Stella Papamichael (611) for BBC.com (1,500) on 16 Jan 2007

Babel can be unnecessarily convoluted, ultimately though it's the stark simplicity of the dilemmas faced by each character that hits home,…

Review of Babel (2006)

By Dave Calhoun (583) for Time Out (7,510) on 16 Jan 2007

If misery is your pornography, Babel is your holy grail…

Review of Babel (2006)

By Ted Murphy (205) for Murphy's Movie Reviews (147) on 11 Jan 2007

Review of Babel (2006)
