Babel
: I really wanted to like this movie. I was a fan of Amores Perros, so I came into this one with high hopes. I have to say I was disappointed. It’s a well made, well acted film. I just felt like there wasn’t as much there as there seemed like there should be. If that makes any sense. What I think I mean is that there’s this web of interconnectedness that’s laid out and all of these disparate characters are dropped into it and the actual stuff that I came away with from all of that framework seemed a little light to me. It was almost universally unpleasant. Which isn’t necessarily an indictment, as I’ve “liked” unpleasant films before, it’s just without something else to keep me going all the unpleasantness pushed me over the edge a little bit.
