Highly Recommended: Babel

Best new film I've seen in quite a while: good writing, good acting, good directing. The flaws were so few I could count them on one hand (and did) but I think, despite the thematic similarities to "Crash," this is (or should be, IMO) this year's "Brokeback Mountain" as far as a film to get excited about.
