The film is extraordinary in all aspects, the story, photography, acting.... If you are tired of hollywood hollow movies you should really take a look at this.

This is as good as it gets in filmmaking. A film for the mind, heart and soul. This is a film that transcends most of the mindless and soulless crap out there and really does what great art should do. If this doesn't affect you or make you think, then you may already be dead. (WARNING: not for the NASCAR crowd on here that complains about movies with subtitles with too much to read and think about and not enough action--you know what I'm talking about.).

This thing looks like it's from the 50's or 60's. Black and white almost all the time. In German, with subtitles. 90% of the movie are these two angels only kids can see walking around listening to everyone's thoughts. The idea was pretty good, but listening to 2 hours of peoples random thoughts, come on.

Dark, slow, drawn out, boring, depressing, very film noir or shall I say film schvartz. Unless you're really into artsy film, find something else with wings.

I couldn't get past half way thru this one. Too hard to watch a bad movie with sub-titles.

This is a typical made for Cannes film. Boring even for a German.

Direct comparison (in plotline): Wings of desire is the gum holding the piece of tinfoil to the bottom of "City of Angels" shoe. Go rent that instead.
