Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I agree with all of that

What made it work for me was to view the separate storylines as unrelated vignettes. Thankfully, Babel did not try to force a greater link between them than the meager thread that existed. But you have to admit, the common denominator of desperation was communicated brilliantly, if not in the script than in the skill of the actors and director, whose chops are immense, as you say. Yes, I like Del Toro and Cauron very much.

Maybe what made Babel work for me is that I had such low expectations going in. I had heard it was a mess and didn't work at all. And I was pleasantly surprised.
