Babel Review: ‘Crash 2: Now It’s Global…and Longer…and Boring’

EDIT: Check out FilmCrunch’s Babel Video Review.
This film follows four interconnected stories – an American couple vacationing in Morocco, a poor Moroccan family, a young deaf girl growing up in Japan, and a middle-aged Mexican woman living illegally in the United States.
