Wings of Desire

THERE ARE ANGELS ON THE STREETS OF BERLIN.

Two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, glide through the streets of Berlin, observing the bustling population, providing invisible rays of hope to the distressed but never interacting with them. When Damiel falls in love with lonely trapeze artist Marion, the angel longs to experience life in the physical world, and finds — with some words of wisdom from actor Peter Falk — that it might be possible for him to take human form.

    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.

    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

  • Jackson Butler
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

    Absolutely hilarious! The humor was spot on, and the comedic timing was perfect.
