REVIEW: Babylon is a lame Hollywood orgy of sex, drugs, and Margot Robbie.
Compare this to another of the movie’s better scenes: Nellie’s first time on a sound set, and all the differences from the silent world that Chazelle neatly and effectively piles into the scene for the sake of a few good, informative gags. This stuff works because you can feel the care and interest on the movie’s end; these bits are just thematic decor, but are rather at the core of the movie.
Seeing a character inevitably pick up a gun and take his life, no one will be surprised — if anything, it feels a bit too much like going through the motions of a preordained arc.care about the world it depicts? Yes, but only so far. A telling scene involving the degradation of a character being asked to don blackface tells us something. The scene is ugly because it should be — that’s the reality that the movie is chipping away at. But the moment is over as soon as it starts.
