Madam D An intense film about poverty, on top of lack of education and without birth control. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review belajar untuk r This is something I've always thought about, stupid adults creating a cycle of suffering. Everything about this movie is perfect. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Ads T Harrowing story of a neglected child who chooses life on the streets of Beirut over living with his parents. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Stacey M I came across this movie on a flight and it is now top 5 of all time for me. I can't even put words to the feeling it gave me - heartbreak on so many fronts, but with glimpses of quiet, deep compassion and kindness in duty where, all things considered, you wouldn't expect it to live. This boy. <3 This movie was so changing for me. I want everyone to see it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Meydiana R Real. Touching. Heartbreaking. At first, I didn't want to review the movie, just give it the highest rating and leave it at that because I don't think I am worthy to judge it. And here I am, writing this, not because I have become any worthier but because people need to watch it. Capernaum tugs at your heartstrings and makes you ache. It's painful, and not in an ordinary way. I watched the movie a few days back and I still think about it. It's definitely made me more grateful for the things I have. The actors don't feel like they're acting (to some extent they're not), it feels like a reality, their innocent eyes describing a journey most of the world was unaware of. I want to recommend this to everyone, but if you're at a low point in your life or show signs of depression, avoid it, you suffer enough. I watched most of the film with tears streaming down my face and at the end, I just sat in the dark with the credits rolling and wondering about the world we live in. Capernaum is a masterpiece. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Azis M Unflinching yet undeniably powerful film, Capernaum is a gut-wrenching portrayal of a childhood stolen, a stark indictment of societal inequalities. The film doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of Zain's world. We witness child exploitation, crushing poverty, and the callous indifference of a system that has failed him. Labaki's masterstroke lies in casting non-professional actors like Zain Al Rafeea, whose raw, unfiltered performances pierce through the screen with an almost documentary-like immediacy. He's not playing a role; he is Zain. Capernaum is a must-watch for anyone who dares to confront the harsh realities of our world. It's a raw gem, leaving me both deeply moved and fiercely hopeful for a better tomorrow. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
