City of God is a weighty and chilling thriller that transports its audience to another time and setting, where street violence is the norm, even among children. The film's expansive coming of age story is poignant and eye-opening in a way not often seen in cinema. Without Hollywood stars or flashy action, Mereilles tells an intriguing visual story about pain and triumphant that grabs you by the throat and never lets go.
