City of Angels raises theological questions, albeit in a somewhat pedestrian manner, and makes them an integral part of its otherwise formulaic plot.February 14, 2001
It manages to leave a pleasant afterglow for those in the mood for its kind of loving.June 18, 2002
My face had been locked in that goofy, awestruck expression you experience only in Spielberg movies. City of Angels demonstrates the best kind of emotionally manipulative filmmaking.January 02, 2005
City of Angels is the sort of compromised movie that could have been almost good, but decided to be a great big hit instead.September 18, 2008
A good deal better than it has any right to be.September 18, 2008
The movie's eerie, slightly menacing vision of black-clad angels lurking in the shadowy corners of unsuspecting lives is genuinely haunting.June 01, 2006
As a remake it's not as poetic as Wenders' masterpiece Wings of Desire, but it's supremely mounted (by ace lenser John Seale) and contains touching performances from Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan deviating from their respective screen images.April 09, 2005
An emotionally uninvolving flick that attempts to play on the heart strings of the viewer and fails in its effort.February 09, 2006
Funnier than Wenders' version, and it also succeeds in visualising LA as a magical city while dealing intelligently with the themes of mortality, sacrifice, free will, and the mixed blessings of the human condition.April 12, 2002
A lovely oddity.April 27, 2007
Strains to achieve the enchantingly sublime, but ends up sinking to the depressingly ridiculous.December 22, 2010
Glossy romance as an angel falls for a surgeon.
