    Babylon

    ★★★★

    If La La Land was Damien Chazelle’s musical love letter to Hollywood, then Babylon is his coke-fueled-stream-of-consciousness-On-The-Road-Jack-Kerouac-no-line-breaks love letter to movies in general. This thing is unhinged on every level and reviewing it would sound like SNL’s Stefon describing the hottest new club in town. It wanders, it wallows, and it revels in self-grandeur for more than three hours—but it also manages to be one of the most entertaining movies of the year.

    Now my number one example of: the don’t make ‘em like they used to. It’s a simple and perfect story driven by solid acting and star power. I now understand why everyone in The Player kept demanding they get Julia Roberts for the role.

    ★★½

    Two-and-a-half hours of watching a horny Amelia Bedelia walk around like C-3PO.

    ★★

    Interesting premise: what if a 90 minute movie felt like it was 4 hours long?
