Review of Babylon (2022) by Josh Larsen for LarsenOnFilm — 16 Dec 2022
It would be too dismissive to call Babylon—Damien Chazelle’s incessantly bravura period piece set during Hollywood’s transition to the sound era—a “giant swing at mediocrity” (to borrow a phrase the silent star played by Brad Pitt uses to describe one of his films).
Babylon is better than that. But the swing still registers more strongly than the results.
