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. - Kim Nilsson

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
