| The Hollywood ReporterNatasha SenjanovicPowerful, stripped to its very essence and featuring a spectacular cast (of mostly non-professionals), Matteo Garrone's sixth feature film Gomorra goes beyond Tarrantino's gratuitous violence and even Scorsese's Hollywood sensibility in depicting the everyday reality of organized crime's foot soldiers. |
| european-films.netBoyd van HoeijThe Neapolitan mafia, known as the Camorra, gets the Syriana treatment in Matteo Garrone's Gomorra (Gomorrah), one of the most incisive organised-crime films to emerge from any country since the 1970s. |
| Suite101.comNick RogersThug-life fantasies here provide lures into ruthlessly complex realities and rigmaroles - slamming characters' faces into the rug before it's pulled from beneath them. The notion that anybody could be a don dies in a blaze of energy, rage and ambition. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranThe fingerprints of the Camorra are everywhere, this film wants us to know, and its grip is lethal. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittThere's not much room for optimism here, given the wide-ranging influence of the Camorra, so all we can do is put our faith in the movie itself and the hope that the truth, simply and powerfully told, can make a difference. |
| TimeRichard Corliss and Mary CorlissProbably the bleakest, least sentimental study of the Mafia in Italian or American film history. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoThis is a vision of hell conveyed in a simple, documentary style, far removed from the sumptuous American Mafia fables. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...grinds away in documentary fashion, like relentless evil wearing on the soft hearts of the poor. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowFor Americans, Gomorrah will play like every other Mafia epic - and no other Mafia epic. |
| Houston ChronicleAmy BiancolliThere's nothing extraneous about it, nothing excessive in its violence or its art. It's as desolate as it needs to be and no more. |
