Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Lee Marshall (157) for Screen International (2,241) on 16 Dec 2009

Probably the most authentic and unsentimental mafia movie ever to come out of Italy…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 30 Sep 2009

So fasten your seat belts for Gomorrah, just snubbed in the wussy Oscar race for Best Foreign Film (so you know it's dynamite)…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Jean-François Vandeuren (109) for Panorama (165) on 29 Jun 2009

Un film à la fois lourd, tragique et hautement instructif figurant assurément parmi les plus marquants à avoir été réalisés sur le sujet…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Enrique Buchichio (359) for Uruguay Total (359) on 03 Jun 2009

Dicen mucho más sobre la Camorra las leyendas finales del film que las dos horas y pico que les precedieron…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Nick Dent (153) for Time Out Sydney (74) on 21 May 2009

The result, while admirable, is curiously flat and unengaging…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Des Partridge (52) for Daily Telegraph (Australia) (376) on 14 May 2009

It is a challenging approach, and while there is suspense and action (including a spectacular car crash), there is frustration as a result…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Philippa Hawker (221) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 14 May 2009

We don't get to know the characters, exactly, but we experience something more interesting: we are brought into disconcerting, almost documentary…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Julie Rigg (120) for MovieTime, ABC Radio National (314) on 13 May 2009

Could Gomorrah and Il Divo signal the return of Italian political cinema? Here's hoping…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Margaret Pomeranz (380) for At the Movies (Australia) (716) on 12 May 2009

The portrait it paints of this society in the grip of this tawdry but immensely powerful and rich organization is scary indeed…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Hernán Alcerreca (11) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 12 May 2009

Gomorrha transcends its medium and evidences humanity at its most despicable, and rates as an unconventional and unmissable instant classic…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Andrew L. Urban (972) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 07 May 2009

The sinewy production could almost pass for documentary %u2013 if only doco makers could get such amazing access…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for AV Club (2,778) on 30 Apr 2009

Gomorrah takes place in a world where decency can't take root and we can only watch in horror as crime overwhelms society's most vulnerable--…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Philip Martin (1,107) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 23 Apr 2009

grinds away in documentary fashion, like relentless evil wearing on the soft hearts of the poor…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 Apr 2009

The characters in Gomorrah may lack an extra dramatic dimension: Garrone errs, if anything, on the side of detachment…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Jonathan F. Richards (111) for Film.com (1,892) on 08 Apr 2009

The sense of authenticity in this movie is palpable, but the scenes are sometimes so dark and so impenetrable that it takes a herculean effort…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Robert W. Butler (884) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 27 Mar 2009

The performances are so real they don't seem like acting at all…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 24 Mar 2009

Brutal and unrelenting, this documentary-style expose of the Camorra -- the Naples equivalent of the Sicilian mafia -- burns away all hints…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Jan Stuart (404) for Washington Post (9,851) on 13 Mar 2009

This vibrantly disorienting cinematic import reinvents the vocabulary of the crime drama with a painterly eye and a feverish documentary style…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 13 Mar 2009

There'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…

Review of Gomorrah (2008)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 13 Mar 2009
