Mi történik akkor, ha egy angyal elkezd vágyódni a halandók mindennapjai után? Nicholas Cage alakítja az angyalt, aki szerelmes lesz egy földi halandóba, a sebésznő Maggie-be. Választania kell égi és földi szerelem között. Vajon mi az, ami egy racionális gondolkodású orvosnőt arra késztet, hogy egy olyan férfihoz vonzódjon, akinek a létezését is lehetetlen elfogadnia? Addig harcolnak józan eszükkel és vágyaikkal, míg végül mindent feláldoznak a szerelemért... (Viasat 3)

It could have been a romance the likes that we haven’t had in years, but Nicolas Cage, Meg Ryan, the script and the director were against it, and so we have another in an endless line of bland sodas made by Hollywood.

A film that could be considered a dream. Full of fantastic images, profound ideas, an unmistakable atmosphere, and an inevitable awakening.

A very romantic and heartbreaking story about love that only manages to come true for a tiny moment. Meg Ryan was perfect as always, Nicholas Cage didn't quite work for me at first, but in the end probably better than some sweet comedian. I could feel the love and the passion and the longing.

Another typical example of a film between three and four stars. City of Angels has everything that a proper romantic drama should contain. Brad Silberling does his job quite well, and his sensitive and conscientious direction is evident in every step. Overall, the formal aspect is excellent, but at times it's slightly kitschy and too polished.

It's a nice story, no doubt about that, but the ending somehow disappointed me. It's like there was no other way it could end, and it had to finish like that, with a metaphorical finale at the very end. It's not bad, but perhaps it could avoid pushing the viewer so hard towards tears or other emotions. However, Nicolas Cage I can appreciate, and this role suits his often quite affected acting style quite well. Meg Ryan didn't dazzle me in any way, but she fit perfectly into the film back then. At times it’s quite calculated, but the idea with angels is actually not bad at all.
