	Media	Author	Review
		Lawrence Van Gelder The New York Times	"Richly atmospheric and suspenseful (...) Most of the people in the evocative ''City of Ghosts'' are not admirable, but the film is."
		Derek Elley Variety	"Pic is holed by a plot-heavy script that’s unsatisfying at a character level and plays like a cut-down version of a much longer, more ambitious saga"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Sometimes the very texture of the film, and the information that surrounds the characters on the screen, make it worth seeing (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Nathan Rabin AV Club	"'City Of Ghosts' has enough atmosphere for three films, enough colorful grotesques for several more, and not enough of a script for one"
		Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"[It] turns out to be a supple, intriguing, and beautifully staged movie"
