9 foreign reviews of Babel (2006)

  • 1. Aftonbladet
    10 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Physical touch becomes more important than words. Iñárritu illustrates this in memorable scenes that alternate between the stark silence in the eyes of Morocco and the blinding lights and images of a nightclub in Japan.
    - Jens Peterson

  • 3. Moviezine
    9 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Iñárritu concludes his trilogy of films that revolve around several stories that are interconnected in one way or another. "Babel" is the strongest entry that does not shy away from the darkness and heaviness of the two previous parts, but also instills in the viewer a sense of hope for forgiveness and redemption. A fantastic film.

  • 6. Nöjesguiden
    8.3 / 10

    Translated from swedish: In a film that is clearly critical of the USA, it is absurd that the American individual is still always angelically blonde, naively innocent, and burdened by a secret sorrow.
    - Johanna Koljonen

  • 7. Expressen
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The furious intensity of Iñárritu remains, but is complemented by a sort of unbearable calm. There is a painful realization that existence has many deserts to get lost in.
    - Bernt Eklund

  • 8. Russin
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Film is about creating emotions, not just arguing, as we know. "Babel" may fall within the realm of cinema verité or neorealism for our time, but for that, one does not have to compromise on the artistic whole.
    - Johan Lindahl

  • 9. Sydsvenskan
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: A shooting against an American tourist on a bus in Morocco has nothing to do with terrorism. However, the infected political climate leads to the news being immediately broadcast around the world with a terrorist angle.
    - Annika Gustafsson
