Here are the latest Babylon Movie Release Date Updates to let you know when you can catch this look at old Hollywood this holiday season starring Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt. In other words, it’s a big-budget epic set four decades earlier than Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and it’s called Babylon. (Sorry, DiCaprio.)
The company is taking a big risk here at a time when non-IP movies rarely get scratches like this. If you’re a casual moviegoer, you may have seen the trailer, but you may still be wondering what the movie is all about. (Though the studio should be fine; they’re swimming in Top Gun: Maverick fun bucks.) Here’s the deal they came to.
Babylon Movie Overview
Taking place in the 1920s, the film chronicles arguably the wildest time in Hollywood history, when stars and filmmakers enjoyed a wild west of depravity and other Jazz Age bacchanalias and fables. It follows Diego Calva, a Mexican-American as he makes his way into the entertainment industry and rubs shoulders with big names and fellow aspirants at the same time.
Babylon Star Cast
In the role of Nellie LaRoy, Margot Robbie plays an amalgam of real-life stars such as Clara Bow, Jeanne Eagels, Joan Crawford, and Alma Rubens. The film sees Pitt take on the aging matinee idol Jack Conrad, who has some elements of John Gilbert, Clark Gable, and Douglas Fairbanks in his DNA. Almost all of the characters in the story are fictitious, with a few exceptions.
Among these is Max Minghella’s Irving Thalberg, who is best known for his role as the “Boy Wonder” head of production at MGM, who landed the job at 26 and died young at 37 years old. In addition to Jean Smart, Jovan Adepo, Lukas Haas, Katherine Waterston, Flea, Jeff Garlin, Spike Jonze, Chloe Fineman, and Eric Roberts, the cast also includes Jean Smart.
Babylon Movie Time
Quite a while! There are 188 minutes in the film. It is no secret that Paramount allowed this film to go so epic since it was written and directed by Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle, who is also the writer of Whiplash, La La Land, and First Man.

Babylon Movie Release Date
On the Friday before Christmas, Dec. 23, the Friday before Christmas, it is getting a plum release date. In addition to Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (Dec. 21), the Whitney Huston biopic I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Dec. 23), and of course Avatar: The Way of Water (Dec. 18), it will also have to contend with the release of Avatar: The Way of Water.
As of right now, there are no reviews embargoed, but there has been a mixed reaction on Twitter from critics. Variety’s Jazz Tangcay dubbed the film “Extravagant, decadent, and all around delightfully delicious.” Josh Rothkopf of Entertainment Weekly wrote, “Damien Chazelle brings buckets of energy to Babylon, but it’s not pounding or obvious, and finally, it’s uninspiring.”
There were some who were more cautious in their semi-praise of the team. Similarly, Yolanda Machado of Entertainment Weekly described it as “A LOT of movie movies and a purposeful mess”. Eric Kohn of IndieWire wrote, “My eyes were never bored; my brain is still catching up to it.”.

It is true that there are a lot of detractors out there. As Ryan Swen of InReview Online pointed out, it “is truly monstrous in its thudding insistence on shoveling the viewer’s face into the muck and claiming that it is something novel or moving.” According to Clayton Davis, Variety magazine’s director says that the film “looks like Damien Chazelle has read the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and then said, “Hold my beer!
As for Margot Robbie, she has promised it will be even more out there than her bonkers breakthrough, The Wolf of Wall Street, which was a critical and commercial success.
