Epic Storytelling

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2016)

City of God stands above many other movies.
Above all, I think the storytelling is done in such a way that keeps the viewer engaged and on their toes. It's like Reservoir Dogs with flashbacks that seamlessly integrate into the story; in fact the editing strengthens the experience.
City of God does have child actors but man, they don't feel like it. The acting is so natural and so organic. The entire movie has got a different vibe than your typical Hollywood product.
Use City of God as a gateway to other international movies. There's a whole world out there - see this movie!
