Leave your thoughts about City of God.
| Hot ButtonDavid PolandThis film is the most original synthesis of pop storytelling into a new form since The Matrix. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisThe living conditions it projects are as horrendous as I had feared, but the movie is surprisingly easy to take as a rollicking homicidal entertainment. |
| TimeRichard CorlissThe film is seductive, disturbing, enthralling -- a trip to hell that gives the passengers a great ride. |
| New York PostMegan LehmannLike a bomb exploding in a fireworks factory: It's fierce and shocking and dazzling and wonderful. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenA marvelous achievement that refuses to avert its gaze from the poetry and the insane savagery of the hopeless. |
| Film ThreatK.J. DoughtonMeticulous in its descriptions of well-intended individuals caught up in these ferocious waves of street crime. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyAn exhilarating slap in the face, bracing and sexy, smart and visceral, stylish and raw -- the advent of a fabulously exciting new moviemaking talent. |
| Washington PostStephen HunterIt's a trip to Hell and back, and testimony for embittered cynics of all that a movie can be. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe film finds a surprising amount of tenderness and humor beneath the brutality. The laughs may catch in the throat, but that's only a byproduct of City Of God's power to leave viewers breathless. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBreathtaking and terrifying, urgently involved with its characters, it announces a new director of great gifts and passions: Fernando Meirelles. |
