Margot Robbie’s divisive movie Babylon has become available to watch on Netflix.

The Damien Chazelle film was first released back in 2022, and focuses on Hollywood’s transition from silent to sound movies in the early 20th century.

The streaming service has now released the movie for users in the UK and Ireland.

Babylon became a huge flop when it was originally released in cinemas, debuting to $4.85 million in the US in its opening weekend before going on to make only $64.9 million globally across its run on a budget of around $80 million.

The movie proved more divisive among critics, and was labelled everything from a "sensational celebration of cinema" to "one of the worst films of 2022". It currently sits at 57% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Alongside Robbie, the movie packs an impressive ensemble cast that includes Brad Pitt, Hacks’ Jean Smart, Narcos: Mexico’s Diego Calva, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea and Spider-Man’s Tobey Maguire.

Robbie subsequently went on to star in the most successful movie of 2023, Barbie, which became a box office smash in summer of last year.

In other news, the actor was recently confirmed to star in Saltburn director Emerald Fennell’s new version of Wuthering Heights alongside Jacob Elordi.

Robbie will play Catherine Earnshaw, while Elordi will portray Heathcliff in the adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel, which focuses on two families living on the West Yorkshire moors and the turbulent relationship between the two characters.

Robbie will star next year in fantasy romance A Big Bold Beautiful Journey alongside Colin Farrell, described as an "imaginative tale of two strangers and the extraordinary emotional journey that connects them".

Babylon is streaming now on Netflix.
