the movie is quite good. Very thrilling, and I love it when films weave multiple storylines together. However, love two of the three storys
Well acted, handsomely photographed. Somewhat overpraised, overblown, machine tooled arthouse. Thematic exploration of interconnectedness.
Babel is a gripping, interwoven narrative exploring human connection and miscommunication across cultures. A thought-provoking masterpiece
A great story. We enjoyed it and discussed about everything that happened. And in this movies, a lot happens
All stories come together to make an acceptable ending
Brilliant drama movie, interwoven story lines, powerful and moving story with amazing performances and beautiful cinematography. Must see
So complex and interesting. Left me deep in thought for days
Interesting look at how all of our actions are connected
3 simultaneous stories:separated geographically: breaking cinema convention more than enjoyable. More philosophic than aesthetic.
It’s an interesting story that shows the likeness in humanity that we all seem to miss. If you like this I highly recommend “Crash”
