Definitely one of the most explosive, and gripping films ever made. That moment, when a youngster realizes, that only chance for survival is crime..well that moment defines pretty much everything that is wrong with this world. As a man living in a welfare state, this kind of reality feels unbearable.

As if Martin Scorsese directed _GoodFellas_ in Brazil (and as a fan of both Scorsese and the film, I mean that in the best possible way).

Brilliant! An incredibly absorbing journey through life in Rio de Janeiro's favelas. The way the story is told makes for such a gripping watching experience. The vibrancy and intensity of these communities shines through in the images and pacing of the film. Loved every minute, even if some parts were really really shocking.

9/10

L'esempio più lampante di come un ottimo film non debba per forza necessitare di grandi mezzi o di un budget senza fine. Una trama ed una storia incisiva, di sangue, fango, dolore e sofferenza. Vista da un umile, unico vero vincitore. Ma non si può parlare di vincitori e nemmeno di vinti quando dietro alla storia con la s minuscola è celata una critica efferata alla polizia e alla sicurezza nelle favelas brasiliane. La città di Dio è il teatro di un grande film, di grandi spunti di riflessione; la regia è fresca, nuova e spietata, non si spaventa di descriverne i lati più crudi e difficili. Gli attori non sembrano nemmeno tali. Mostruoso.
9,5

City of God is a gripping visceral experience of a film that puts American gangster films to shame.

It's at time documentary like portrayal of the intersecting lives of Rocket, Li'l Ze, Carrot, Benny growing up in the cycle of violence and demonstrates in a perfection of the format the way there is no escape from this world.

Fernando Meirelles eye in this film is both stunning and shocking at times I both wanted to but couldn't look away. The use of perspective in peculator was beautiful and entraining and this was often very successfully with use of reflections, from the scenes and in the glistening bodies of the actors.

This was undoubtedly a 5 star film and i am eager to re-watch to deepen my understanding.

Good movie but a little hyped I think. Reading subtitles really takes away from the immersiveness but apart from that there wasn’t much character development, so I never got emotionally attached to anything except of course a few brutal scenes. Totally get the dire situation these kids are in. :( It’s hard not to compare parts of this to the wire, and I found that to be a more enjoyable.
