Okay, I saw Babel this afternoon and left totally unimpressed. The whole non-linear, interconnecting stories thing has been done (and done well), but didn't work for me in this one. I would have preferred an entire movie about the Mexican nanny's story--that one really moved me.
I do, however, think the Japanese actress who played the deaf-mute was phenomenal and I see she is nominated for supporting actress. We all know Jennifer Hudson will win that one, though.
