City of God

Amazing. Captivating. It ranks up there as high as Children of Men. It has multiple storylines, funky angles, and multidimensional characters. And it never becomes too serious, and yet never too clever. It keeps people guessing what's going on next. 

I love how the storylines tend to shift. It shifts fluidly. The narrator is amazing. He is a character as well, and he guides you from one scene to the next, filling in the gaps while keeping you moving. Everything is tied up in the end. 

I can't describe how amazing this movie is.
