I couldn't help but compare this to Boogie Nights, it has the same frenetic, kinetic energy but is lacking the coherent, cohesive flow that could tie everything together seamlessly.
Brad Pitt should win every award for his performance; he was the heart of the movie, while Diego Calva was the soul. I couldn't take my eyes off either of them while they were onscreen but I wish they had more to do with each other. Margot Robbie could have easily stolen every scene, but Diego was right there with her. I could watch her dance scene at the party over and over again.... I also thought some of the insider jokes were amusing - Margot and Samara in the same scene! (Or were they...?) and a repeated scene of Brad kissing an actress who was very reminiscent of Angelina....
Overall Babylon is a somewhat rewarding watch, but I have no desire to see the whole movie again any time soon, while I wouldn't mind seeing Boogie Nights again, especially after seeing Babylon.
