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 impact.

Conclusion:

The film reveals the darkest of humanity in the grittiest and 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 reevaluate how lucky it is to be born in other parts of the world, and could make some grateful for what they have. Lamentably for some, this is all they've ever known.
