Let's say this first: Capernaum is not a movie for everyone. It is very well made, but difficult to watch. It deals with very unpleasant situations and people. Because of that, it's not a film for kids to watch (in my opinion) and I don't recommend anyone suffering from depression watch the movie....it's very hard to take and is brutal in its realism.
It brings the questions we all ask ourselves, when we witness children facing brutality - Why do people keep bringing children into this world when they can't or won't take care of them? -- is the central one at the heart of "Capernaum," and it's asked not by another parent, but by a little boy who's old and wise beyond his years and is fed up with his parents and the environment they've created for him and his siblings. The young actor who plays the little boy is astonishing -- I can't remember a movie in recent memory that features such a young actor who so ably carries an entire film.
THE CHILDREN WILL STEAL YOUR HEART AND THE ADULTS WILL BREAK IT.
We would love your feedback!
