Our take

Lebanese actor-turned-director Nadane Labaki (Caramel) achieved enormous critical and commercial success with Capernaum, her Academy Award®-nominated third feature. A powerful, riveting social-realist drama led by 12 year-old Zain El Raffea, and winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
