This lit-doc travelogue gains in power, insight, and urgency as it journeys.

The film serves as a concise biographical portrait and an excellent introduction to the writer's works.

When it’s merely a guided tour marked by sites and talking historians, Finding Babel can feel a little color-by-numbers. (Which may explain the Schreiber-read interludes.) But there are excursions that feel invigorating.

In what probably qualifies as both an accomplishment and a shortcoming, the movie makes you want to read Babel’s writing instead.
