"I want to make a complaint against my parents. I'd want adults to listen to me. I want adults who can't raise kids not to have any. What will I remember? Violence, insults or beatings, hit with chains, pipes, or a belt?"

~Capernaum~ A movie so mind-boggling yet depressing. It is an emotional ride that carries you to the other side of the world where life is drilling you at every step and the people around make you feel like smut.

It speaks volumes about the scarred childhood and the infinite agonies one has to endure to survive.

Capernaum is raw yet burnished with the appalling aspect of the reality where you will start feeling remorseful of the world you are living in. Humans are bartered for materialistic satisfaction and the young girls are traded to the lusty giants who desire nothing but pleasure.

My heart twinged while I watched the movie and there came a moment where everything felt inherent as if I am living each scene of the movie at that exact time. This cinematic experience is so gripping that the powerful acting and the heartbreaking scenes started to tear up my senses into gazillion slivers of sheer sadness.

It felt like an eternity to bounce back from the miserable reality and their pristine performance.

It is a gut-wrenching story that is bound to leave tears in the eyes and a crack in your heart. It is not just a movie but a harrowing experience on a different level that can instantly shake your existence. Capernaum is daring and it screams realism till the end.

Of course, nothing could be more delightful than the ending of the movie where Zain finally smiles. He deserved that smile after everything he went through and seeing him smile for the first time, in the end, warmed my heart straight away.

Capernaum, you beauty!
