Community Reviews

Viewers are profoundly moved by 'Capharnaüm', praising its raw and realistic portrayal of hardship and resilience in the slums of Beirut. The film's intense emotional impact, driven by powerful performances, especially from non-professional actors like Zain Al Rafeea, leaves a lasting impression. Many describe the experience as heart-wrenching yet essential, highlighting the plight of neglected children and refugees with a stark, unfiltered lens.

👍 Real-life experiences of the actors add depth to their roles.

👎 The film's stark realism can be emotionally overwhelming.
