The endlessly resourceful Nicolas Cage, as a celestial angel, and a terrifically engaging Meg Ryan, as a pragmatic surgeon, create such blissful chemistry that they elevate the drama to a poetic level seldom reached in a mainstream movie.Full Review
Though far from a seamless work, the film is gorgeously crafted, and Silberling obviously has a passion for angels. But then these days, who doesn't?Full Review
What I did appreciate is that City of Angels is one of the few angel movies that knows one essential fact about angels: They are not former people. Angels aren't human. We were never human, observes Seth. This is quite true. Angels are purely spiritual beings.Full Review
An odd hybrid but a successful one. It marries the lyricism and heavy atmosphere of a European art film with the soaring spirit of a Hollywood love story.Full Review
I suspect City of Angels is going to remind many viewers of Ghost, but there's a big difference: this film is more true and less manipulative.Full Review
