I can confidently say Braff elaborated on a difficult story that I'd certainly watch again. Evolve through 1920s Hollywood in “Babylon” You can't seem to escape Florence Pugh as she's been seen in notable films for the last couple of years. From "Black Widow," to "Little Women," "Midsommar," and of course "Don't Worry Darling," Pugh has been busy sending out hit performances. Pugh delivers incredible acting as our main character trying to overcome a painkiller pill addiction. Her moments of despair had me crying with her, and wondering how those who've experienced such trauma, gain the strength to...
