Should have called this Babyl-long - right? While it has a pretty killer cast and an even better soundtrack, I think Damien Chazelle thinks this is twice as smart as he thinks it is and only half as much entertaining as it should be. The opening orgy/party scene is crazy but it can't keep up that energy and eventually just gets crushed by its own ambition. It's good - but three hours good? A soft recommend.

An ambitious but inevitably ruinous and self-indulgent portrait of a transitional time in Hollywood devoid of the traditional glamour, "Babylon" is a one-note collection of sequences each less interesting than the one that preceded it.
