Tales of Babylon

Didn't think this movie would be that good considering some of the ratings here on IMDB, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The plot builds up slowly and you get to know some odd and interesting characters. It's not a lot of non-stop shooting and car chases like in American movies but more of slow-action I get the feeling that the director has looked at Pulp Fiction, The Liability and similar films and then arrived at this little gem.

Crowd funded, relatively unknown actors and a well-written plot impresses, so I can only recommend this film.

Will keep an eye on this director and look forward to the next film project!

I am very impressed by this film. Considering the low budget it was made on I find it really impressive the way the story is told and the characters constructed. Making action on a low budget is not an easy feat, but this film achieves it really well.

Great performances all around and really enjoyable visual style. The production design is very pleasing.

Don't go in trying to get Tarantino because the film simply doesn't have the funds for that. But if you love indie films and discovering new talent this flick is just right for you. Thoroughly enjoyable humour and action.

I highly recommend it.

Loved, loved, loved this film. It's such a great example of real indie filmmaking and it's so meritorious for a such a young director to do something so great. It shows a lot of promise for sure. I'll be looking out for his future films. I liked the cinematography also, some very well crafted shots by the DOP.

I really liked all the actors as well, especially Maria Crittell as Mother Nature and Ray Calleja as X, their chemistry was excellent.

The kid was excellent too. I haven't seen a child performer who was so good in a long time.

It drags on slightly at the midpoint but the ending really brings it home, Sergio Leone style.

Incredible production with an amazing director and team working to create this legendary piece. Recommend to watch as soon as possible. Keeps you glued to your seat as it takes you on an incredible emotional rollercoaster.

Uplifting movie with great funny scenes played out by the wonderful casts!! Great references which I will not go into detail so once you watch it you can enjoy them as much as I did. No spoilers in this review.

As soon as Tales of Babylon is in your nearest cinema it is a must watch!!! Groucho Arts is the production company so it is without a doubt that you will enjoy it as well.

I am such a huge lover of anything British and this film is just that! Definitely feels like a love letter to the city of London and all it's variety.

Didn't know britts loved chicken so much!

I have to take most of this review to talk about the little girl, because she was an absolute delight. In a different way but she reminded me a lot to Natalie Portman in Leon. Always talking back, not being afraid of anything. She seems like she'll be up there in years to come.

On the downside, they curse A LOT. Too much for me. I also felt like I could've done without some bits in the film, especially around the one hour mark, which drags on just a little bit when Mother Nature visits Alex at his drug house.

They boy who plays x also really grabbed my attention, he's charming in such an interesting way, I would love to see more of him if casting directors in the US are interested. He could for sure be in a Guy Richie film or two.

I had a blast. Just such a fun little film.
