Critic Reviews
Gomorrah (2008) Review: The Mafia Without Myth
★★★★½
Gomorrah is Matteo Garrone's unflinching Naples crime drama, five interwoven stories that strip every trace of glamour from the Camorra and the lives it controls.
Yes. It is one of the essential crime films of the century, best for patient viewers who want the reality of organised crime rather than gangster-movie thrills.
