   Is city of Dreams a smuggling movie?

   • Writer/director Mohit Ramchandani’s City of Dreams does such a stomach-churning job of depicting how insidiously border smuggling can be a deceptive means of selling a child into an underground sweatshop that it becomes twice as infuriating when the screenplay regularly falls into contrived nonsense.

   Is city of Dreams a true story?

   • “City of Dreams” is a movie with a mission: to raise awareness about child trafficking. However, as a work of fiction “inspired by true events,” it leaves much to be desired. It is a sensationalized portrait of the problem, the kind of movie that doesn’t pull at the heartstrings so much as it takes a jackhammer to them.

   Is 'city of Dreams' a good movie?

   • On the plus side, "City of Dreams" is an intensely directed -- some might say over-directed -- movie that might raise some awareness of a terrible social problem. But it reduces that problem to cases of individual morality, portraying it as the handiwork of greedy individuals rather than addressing the larger forces in the dynamic.

   Is the city of Dreams a work of vision?

   • There is a particular sensibility at work here, one that recalls early Guillermo del Toro, and it is fair to say the "City of Dreams" is a work of vision. (I hope I don't see that last bit on a DVD case blurb.)

   Is city of Dreams irresponsible?

   • Yet “City of Dreams” leaves so much left unsaid when it comes to this issue, like the apprehension of going to the police for help because that might get someone deported or arrested, that creates such an incomplete picture, it feels irresponsible.

   How does city of Dreams end?

   • The kicker is that “City of Dreams” concludes with an actual call to action following a final title card. Out of costume, young López addresses the audience denouncing politicians and celebrities who don’t do enough to end these dehumanizing practices (not wrong) and urges the audience to tell others about the film.
