ksenijaJan 1, 2021This was so impressive. How they managed to tell so many stories at once without any of them feeling unnecessary or a waste of time is mind blowing. This film is fantastically paced, It’s so rhythmic and edited better than anything else I’ve seen.

Even tough I wish it was knockoutned who ended lil dice, the fact that it was kids was genius because he started being a killer when he was a child then he stopped being because kids killed him. He got it coming, he’s a monster who lost his only friend because of his arrogance.
Juan Castro lovedCity of God"¡Ciudad de Dios! Retrato crudo de la vida en favelas de Río. Jóvenes vulnerables al crimen, pero con energía para cambiar su destino. Una montaña rusa emocional que te atrapa y deja reflexionando sobre la fuerza de la juventud en medio del caos."

Ryan Tower lovedCity of GodTW: SA, child violence Tough watch, makes you grateful for your childhood. Each characters journey you experience w them. Specifically the montages & chronological sequence adds to the depth & immersion. Behind the scenes drama & a tv show add more but weren’t necessary Go rocket
Formal lovedCity of God– Craziest sequence of events – Lil Dice started killing as a kid, then gets popped by kids is crazy irony – Rocket’s POV was really interesting – Knockout Ned dying to Otto was wild, especially with that backstory – Wasn’t expecting it to be that good overall

Metacritic
It takes a strong stomach to sit through its two-plus hours of non-stop brutality (much of it involving very small children).

The film is seductive, disturbing, enthralling -- a trip to hell that gives the passengers a great ride.

Full of action, but no soul.
