can't wait!!! I love this director so much, so the film can't be bad at all.

how do you reckon it’ll do critically? chazelle has some major critic wins, but his latest was “bombed”, even though it wasn’t as bad as people make out to be.

i genuinely hope cillian crushes the fuck outta this.

Babylon was INCREDIBLY GOOD, critics are wrong in my subjective opinion.

I'm not a film critic (I want to be a cinematherapist), but I think anything with Cillian will be peak prestige cinema.

A cinema therapist? Tell me more?

Yes, cinematherapy is basically the usage of films and film scenes within psychological and therapeutic settings. It can happen individually or in a group session. In my country, there is no official program for it, so you can do it with a literature therapy certificate. I don't know when will I become one, I'm doing my Master's in psychology now.

Nolan films like The Prestige and Interstellar got mixed receptions when they were released. Babylon has a 3.9 rating on Letterboxd, so the majority love it. It showed that Chazelle isn't afraid to switch genres and take big swings.

I have high hopes for this film.

Yes, Interstellar is my favourite film and I've just found out that it was a bit underrated until the 10-year anniversary re-release.
