All about the comorra?
This is *technically* a very good film. However it completely failed to deliver in educating the viewer about the comorra which is kind of the point. There are five or so independent story lines that remained as such. I felt there was a lack of overall story although maybe that won't bother all viewers.
Having read about the comorra since I now realise why the different storylines were relevant but surely the film should have conveyed this, an opportunity missed. There is a definite brilliance in the film making there but it wasn't for me. for example - the film was made with residents of the estate it was set in rather than actors and didn't suffer at all for that. -

GOMORRAH
Really disapointing I initially pick it for it winning awards, really hard to follow with the subtitles and jumping between stories, gave up as it wasnt interesting enough to keep following
