Reviews for Gomorra
The Neapolitan mafia, known as the Camorra, gets the Syriana treatment in Matteo Garrone's Gomorra (Gomorrah), one of the most incisive organised-crime films to emerge from any country since the 1970s.
As a result of the hardhitting, unflinching and accurate story, the author went into hiding after threats and is now under police protection.
Sidesteps grandiose statements in favor of a lean and brutal gangster-as-capitalist analysis that at its fiercest feels like a continuation of Francesco Rosi's caustic mafia exposés.
[Makes] brilliant use of seemingly endless array of run-down and abandoned buildings and spaces.
The sheer pervasiveness of corruption is eye-opening, and it justifies the narrative structure somewhat, but it seems a slight point to be making over the course of two and a half hours.

Gomorra has its own nerve, as well as the filmmaking intelligence to strip the cliches from its densely packed, authentically inhabited narrative. The new moviegoing year just got one hell of a jolt.
A tough, cynical, blistering fictionalized study of the Camorra crime organization that controls much of Naples.
Impactante justamente por evitar se concentrar nos poderosos que se encontram no topo da hierarquia da camorra.
...an obvious choice by Italy as its entry into the Oscar race for Best Foreign Language Film. Unfortunately, it was not one of the five films selected...
