The amount of concessions made to play to Brad Pitt’s character of the alpha male race car driver Sonny Hayes leads to a few unnecessary storyline decisions. The most egregious one being the completely frivolous and underdeveloped romance between Hayes and race car designer Kate played by Kerry Condon. But then this work was never intended for the motor racing purist, it’s squarely aimed for mass consumption.

The overall presentation is very bright and shiny. The integration into the real world of F1 aided by the governing body’s acceptance of cast and crew’s into the actual grid proceedings is very effective. This Illustrates the many lessons learned by the audience building aspect of Netflix’s ongoing soap opera that is Drive To Survive.

Once you come to terms with its intention, it becomes a lot of fun to just experience. And the visual onslaught and underdog ethos helps to sell that vision. It is not a thinking person’s racing movie, it’s a buttered popcorn thrill ride that will keep you engaged throughout its 155-minute running time. The real world drama does however continue this year as it’s a racing season that holds surprises on a weekly basis.

Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

The journey begins at the end of the silent film era and sees the studio system all-powerful. Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt) is the reigning king of tinsel town, Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie) is the crazy wannabe who will do anything to get her foot in the door and Manny Torres (Diego Calva) is the more than capable gopher who just loves film. Add Sidney Palmer (Jovan Adepo), an earnest jazzman and you have four interesting individuals to build a narrative around.

The film’s first few reels are so packed with kinetic energy and outrageous events that when the film slows down to develop its characters you have to adjust to the more leisurely cadence. The transition from silent movies to the talkies was traumatic for some and fatal for others and when things reach their conclusion you are left sad at many of the outcomes.

In many ways, you can see the lessons learned in Chazelle’s past films reaching full fruition in Babylon. It is so brimming with ideas and visuals it will take more than a single viewing to consume completely. It’s a work that regardless of its theatrical box office will be great at home. You can watch it over and over and get something new from it every time. Who would have thought a film so chaotic in nature would end up having such a big heart?
