What City of God is about
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.

How Cini scores City of God
Star ratings flatten everything into the same 7-or-8. Cini does it differently: instead of asking how many stars City of God deserves, it asks which films you liked more. A few quick head-to-head comparisons slot City of God into your personal ranking, and its score out of 10 comes from where it actually lands for you — then Cini predicts how much you'll like what you haven't seen yet.
