Capharnaum is the best movie I saw in 2018! This movie made me realize the abject poverty which exists around the world, and how love for family always shines through even in the darkest moments of life. The acting was great, and the hero of the story is a young guy who showed us how to be brave and how to push forward in life. The most important life lesson we can take from this unique movie: always appreciate what you have and never take your loved one for granted.

With two astonishing child performances, Capernaum is a real heart-breaker. It can make Ken Loach look happy-go-lucky but it’s a gripping, sympathetic cry for the dispossessed.

It’s quietly absorbing and fitfully shocking as we experience the sights, sounds and smells of the streets where a one-year-old child can wander around alone without anyone stopping to wonder why.
