Babylon
Type: movie
Year: 2022
Genres: Drama · Comedy
Wokeness Rating: 3.5/5
Feminism Rating: 3/5
ChickFlick Rating: 1/5
Commentary: Depicts early Hollywood’s racism and exploitation, gives space to non‑white and queer characters (LGBTQ+ undertones), and critiques the industry’s dehumanizing, profit‑driven machine (anti‑capitalist/anti‑patriarchal notes). A prominent female lead shows agency and pushes against sexist gatekeeping, though the film’s gaze often indulges in hedonistic objectification and doesn’t prioritize a feminist agenda. The tone and structure lean toward a chaotic showbiz epic, not a romance‑centric ‘chick flick.’
