Review of Babylon

Babylon (I) (2022)
8/10
Forget that It wasn't huge in the theater.

Forget what you heard. This film reminds me of A Dirty Shame by John Waters. Hilariously over the top. The movies needed a film like this. Big loud and funnily sexy. Olivia Hamilton is great as Ruth Adler the female director. There's a helluva lot to look at and hear in this film, especially if you're into film and listen and look closely. Watch it. The film drops a lot of lines that pertain to other films, film stars and the high society of the time. It's fascinating the correlations of the characters in the film to their real life actors of the time. The New York Times has a great article of the period referencing the book Hollywood Babylon.
