Babylon is by far the most polarizing film of 2022. I gotta say, I absolutely loved it. Rotten Tomatoes currently holds it at 55%. Rotten Tomatoes is not a good website when it comes down to knowing what the general consensus for a film is. This is the 4th entry in Damien Chazelle's filmography. His first two being Whiplash and La La Land, which are some of my favorite films of all time. Whiplash being my personal favorite. As well as First Man which was solid. This is his most ambitious film to date, and one of the most ambitious films I've ever seen. It's just always on. Every scene is filled to brim with chaotic energy. Diego Calva has a promising career ahead of him. Brad Pitt was very good. But the standout was undoubtedly Margot Robbie. I'd say it's her best performance. She needs that Oscar. This films ending is an insane and fantastic tribute to cinema. Babylon is one of my favorite films of the year.
