Everyone's a critic: 'Babel'

One star (out of four)

I didn't like "Babel" because of the way it was put together.

The director went to a lot of trouble to keep you confused. The story is about four different situations that are brought about by a single rifle. Some Moroccan boys were playing with the rifle when they use a tour bus for a target and shoot an American woman (Cate Blanchett), who is on vacation with her husband (Brad Pitt) to forget about the death of one of their children and try to mend the hurt between them. But the shooting puts that love to the test. They have two children at home who are being watched by a Mexican nanny who takes them to Mexico for her son's wedding and doesn't have the proper paperwork for them to get back into the country.

This movie has sexual scenes and nudity, so don't bring the children. The film is a long one.
