Acclaimed horror author Stephen King has high praise for Babylon, a black comedy starring Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt that divided audiences and critics. Babylon premiered in 2022 and explores the depravity of early Hollywood, as several stars of the 1920s see their careers change drastically during the film industry's shift from the silent film era to sound. It sparked a very polarized response from critics. Some applauded Babylon's ambition, glamour, performances, and nuanced exploration of the era, while others felt that it was too excessive, overstuffed, and messy.
