This isn’t just a film. It’s a visceral experience. It strips away any illusion of comfort and leaves you with nothing but raw, unfiltered reality. Nadine Labaki doesn’t create distance between the audience and the screen. She forces you into the streets of Beirut, into the chaos, the neglect, the resilience, and the unbearable weight of a childhood stolen. Capernaum is more than a film, it’s a call to witness, a demand to acknowledge, and a reminder that survival is not the same as living.

It didn’t leave much of an impression, to be honest. I kept waiting for it to spark something, but it just never got there. I don’t really get the hype. It feels like one of those films that wants to be profound but ends up just…existing. It’s not bad, but it’s not memorable either, which somehow feels worse😭
