Thoughts:
Absolutely brilliant and incredibly emotional ride, with some of the best child acting I have ever seen. I was so taken by it that after the screening I didn’t even realise I was standing next to Cate Blanchett!
CAPHARNAUM will rival COLD WAR as my ‘Favourite Film of the Year’.
Rating:
9.5/10
