6.5/10

The film had a very ambitious concept and it has good cinematography, good costumes, good acting, and a good music score....

but everything else is problematic. The 3 hour length is too overblown and could've been trimmed down by 30 minutes to make it flow better, the characters are a little undeveloped, the content scenes (involving an elephant s***ing, the main chick peeing on a fat guy) I could do without because it made the whole movie a little too excessive.

I expected a lot more from Damien Chazelle who directed that way more superior La La Land, but Babylon only ends up being an OK flick. Had this movie not been released in the same month as Avatar: The Way of Water, it would have at least done better financially.
