Capernaum (2018)
Some people shouldn’t have children.
Presentation:
A boy sues his parents for giving him life…and you'll likely side with the pitiful boy. A very compelling script that presents a very real yet unkind world taking place in Lebanon. If you can't stomach child brutality and negligence, be warned. Nothing is melodramatic about this film leaving an unfiltered powerful punch to the gut.
Conclusion:
The film reveals the darkest of humanity in an unsugarcoated way. What makes the impact even more brutal is that the actors are real refugees and victims. It's quite an eye-opening experience that should make you re-evaluate how lucky it is to be born in privileged parts of the world and should make people grateful for what they have. Lamentably for other, tragedy is all they've ever known.
