I watched Babel today. It's a beautifully made film with strong performances from the entire cast. The story is intricately weaved in the style of crash.
I appreciate the film not labeling any of the characters as good or evil. We are allowed to sympathise with each of the characters regardless of their age, race or gender.
Where the movie fails is in trying to stretch the connections between its superficially connected parts. The chain of events that lead to the numerous tragedies in the film stretch credibility almost to the point comedy by the end of the film.
