Review of Capernaum (2018) by Ann Hornaday for Washington Post — 09 Jan 2019
Despite small but powerful gestures in the finale, it leaves the audience feeling just as immobilized and powerless as its characters. Labaki chose the title Capernaum because the word was often used to mean “chaos” in French literature.
That’s precisely what she presents to us, with precious little relief in sight.
