Babel
Although not quite as overwrought as 21 Grams, Inarritu's overlong, hyper-intense tale of miscommunication and stupid decisions seems to be trying too hard. There are great moments of very fine acting and wonderful camera work, but the story plays like a big, political treatise with nothing to say. Inarritu still hasn't made anything with the same impact as Amorres Perros and I'd really like to see him take on a simple linear story.
