Review of Capernaum (2018) by Simran Hans for The Observer (UK) — 24 Feb 2019
Rafeea, a non-professional actor and Syrian refugee, is the film’s secret weapon. At times, the tragedy unfolding on screen feels borderline unwatchable, but his strange, fascinating, eerily adult face offers a litany of minute expressions.
There is a wisdom, a soulfulness, and an icy, angry candour that feels lived rather than performed.
