Review of City of God (2002) by Abby M — 06 Feb 2013

I wish this movie was shot in English! Reading the subtitles wasn't a big deal, but I feel like it took away a bit from the movie and that the tone of the actors voices and the inflection in their voices could have added so much more emotion in the film! Other than that minor detail I found the film to be very interesting and it evokes many emotions in me.

The interactions between characters and the different situations they encounter are show in interesting ways. Meirellas succeeded in keeping the film suspenseful, interesting, and compelling while still making it feel real.
