Rating: 4.0/5.0

Brad Pitt is Jack Conrad, the biggest male star at MGM, Margot Robbie is Nellie LeRoy a new sensation who comes along right as silent movies end, and they both have difficulty making the transition to talking on screen, with different results. Diego Calva is Manny, who portrays a up and coming studio exec, who is a tour guide through the whole glorious mess, including a stop in what is called “the a-hole of Los Angeles.” And finally, on-fire character actor Jean Smart plays a manipulative gossip columnist.

”Babylon” is currently in theaters. Featuring Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva, Olivia Wilde and Jean Smart. Written and directed by Damien Chazelle. Rated “R”
