City of God

"A classic from my home country. Amazing movie!"

"One of my favorite films of all time, especially as a photographer. Well worth the subtitles! "

"One of the best crime dramas I've ever seen, just too good!"

"This is a tough one to watch (trigger warning esp for anyone who experienced poverty in a violent area), but it is worth every second (provided it isn't too triggering and you aren't depressed). "

"Best of 1993/2003/2013"

"Never have I seen a movie more visceral, more surreal in my life!! This is not one of your typical "hood drama" movies, this hits a little different. The cinematography makes it look documentary-esque, making you feel like you're in one of the dangerous favelas in the film. Damn near everything about this movie feels real, especially the actors, which also adds to the documentary feel of the movie. As far as urban dramas go, this is one of the more realistic portrayals and plus this movie is based on a true story! One of my all time favorites! "

"One of the best movies I have ever seen. "

"In my top ten, incredible "

"Definitely worth the watch!!"

"A masterpiece film"
