"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."  european-films.net  Boyd van Hoeij

A-
"As a result of the hardhitting, unflinching and accurate story, the author went into hiding after threats and is now under police protection."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

3/4
"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."  Slant Magazine  Fernando F. Croce

51/100
"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."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

4/5
"Impactante justamente por evitar se concentrar nos poderosos que se encontram no topo da hierarquia da camorra."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

A-
"...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..."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford
