Babel (2006)

Cast: Brad Pitt (Richard), Cate Blanchett (Susan), Mohamed Akhzam (Anwar), Peter Wight (Tom), Harriet Walter (Lilly), Adriana Barraza (Amelia), Elle Fanning (Debbie), Nathan Gamble (Mike)
For complete info, see IMDb's Babel site.

I can definitely see why Babel is nominated for best picture. Since I've only seen two of the nominated films this year, I can't say whether it deserves to win best picture. I doubt that it will, since Crash won best picture last year. Crash handled the same difficult topic of prejudice, but did a much better job.

This is a very good movie where all the stories intertwine by the end of the movie. The cast is wonderful and the story is moving. I recommend renting Babel.

Grade: B+
