Gritty and sobering.

Great movie...better on blu-ray
||Posted .Bought this as a replacement for my dvd because I love this movie. Chilling drama (and part biography) of life as it was in the drug and gun riddled favelas of Rio De Janero. (I say "was" because supposedly the goverment has cleaned up many of these areas in preparation for the upcoming Olympics). I like stories that give you a glimpse of life outside of our culture, and this film does all that. Quite, perhap over-the-top, violent and I suppose controversial, it also is a story of rising above circumstances. The extra feature documentary included is quite good, and will simply have you shaking your head.

Classic Work Of Art
||Posted .City of God is one of the most critically-acclaimed films of the last decade. This gripping, emotional drama is one of the finest works of film. Cuaron does an excellent job directing and sets himself apart in the industry. It also paved the way to the rest of his success as a director. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves great films with a moving plot and realistic characters and drama.

Great movie all around
||Posted .This movie I got to see for the first time was in school and I have to say I loved it. From the start to end. And shows Brazil streets. The way the film was put together. You feel your walking the streets of Brazil and again this is a great movie to have

One of the greatest films of all time
||Posted .A must own and watch. This film is extremely powerful and at times difficult to watch. Adults only. Story and character driven.

Great work
||Posted .This is a great movie, a must watch if you haven't done so You will be taking a trip to Rio de Janeiro without taking a flight. This movie needs ten stars from the rolling stone, Chicago Sun Times, and the New York Post.

A Modern Classic
||Posted .This movie is seriously amazing and one of the best you will ever see in your life. The Blu-Ray is a little light on extras but the documentary included is definitely worth a look. BUY THIS MOVIE!
