City of God

City of God is streaming on Paramount+ in the US right now, and you can rent or buy it on Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube and Fandango. Cinova keeps this updated and links you straight into the service.

City of God has a Cinova Score of 8.9 out of 10 from 5 ratings. That puts it at #12 in Drama and #22 of all movies on Cinova. Every rating comes from a real person ranking it against the other titles they have seen, so the number is a decimal, not a rounded star count.

In the poverty-stricken favelas of Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s, two young men choose different paths. Rocket is a budding photographer who documents the increasing drug-related violence of his neighborhood, while José “Zé” Pequeno is an ambitious drug dealer diving into a dangerous life of crime.

City of God was directed by Fernando Meirelles and released in 2002. It stars Alexandre Rodrigues, Leandro Firmino and Phellipe Haagensen.
