I believe you meant to say that you felt Rachel's performance DIDN"T detract that much?
I liked the film I hope you understand.
I felt that City of God was a more personal film, I got to "know" the protagonists more, and therefore the emotional "buy-in" was greater for me.
I also have spent a long time in Rio so the story twisted a knife in me: one sees kids like that on the street everyday.

"I believe you meant to say that you felt Rachel's performance DIDN"T detract that much?".......Oops, YES that is certainly what I meant. Thanks much!
..... I liked City of God but I thought it was a bit long - some editing would have made it more efficient. Actually I have seen it 2x and it was really only on the second viewing that the too-drawn-out sections bothered me (a bit.) I suppose if I had waited a bit longer before watching it again the length would not have been would not have been as noticeably. Also, I too have spent time in Brazil and would agree with your assessment on the shanties and street kids.
