Review of Babylon (2022) by Filmlover22 — 23 Dec 2022
Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference.
I love, love, love, love Babylon and Damien Chazelle's genius mind. Margot Robbie is a star. Her best role to date. Nellie is crazy. She is free, she is talented, she is herself, she is sad, she is tragic. Her whole life was a big tragedy. I don't want to spoil anything. All I am gonna say is, it's written in the stars, Nellie LaRoy is a star and so is Margot Robbie. I don't care about critics reviews, this woman is insanely talented and deserves all the awards in the world.
Diego Calva. Wow. What an actor! Hollywood needs this man. He is going to be a big star. I am in love with Manny Torres. What a character. A man with big dreams, huge heart and a huge love for Nellie.
Brad Pitt, he basically is playing himself. When you watch the movie and know the history of Brad Pitt, you will know what am I talking about.
Katherine Waterston made me laugh every time she showed up on screen. What a show stealer, just like Li Jun Li. Li Jun Li stole the show every time she appeared on screen. She is a heart and soul of the film in my opinion. I needed more of her, Tobey Maguire and Samara Weaving. Especially Tobey and Samara. I'd love to see more of Phoebe Tonkin too.
Jovan Adepo and Jean Smart are genius. I loved every second with them.
I wanted to punch Eric Roberts every time I saw him on screen and it ain't insult to him. His acting was great and it made me want to punch him.
I want to say more, so many things, but I can't do it without spoilers. I'll just say, I love Damien Chazelle and his brilliant, genius mind. Yet, I don't know how I feel about ending. I didn't hate it like so many people. I just don't know how I feel about it.
I highly recommend this film. Genuine question to all the people who hated it. Did we watch the same movie? Cause I don't understand the hatred to it. Not liking the movie is one. Hating and talking **** about it is another. I can understand those people who disliked it, but can not understand those who hated it.
Not everyone loves long movies. As for me, I wish I could see the whole cut that is more than 4 hours long. 3 hours wasn't enough for me. But of course, not everyone loves it.
I loved it. Kind of movie that will become classic 10 years from now.
