Nadine LabakisCapernaumnever mentions abortion by name, but its one of the most forcefully pro-choice films Ive ever seen.

Movies almost inherently celebrate life life-giving, the moments of vitality in otherwise difficult situations.

She takes Zain in and feeds him, and he looks after the baby while she goes to work.

Zain and Yonass situation in Rahils absence goes from dire to almost unwatchable.

Its not as if were not crying our eyes out already.

Capernaumwas nominated for a 2019 Oscarin Best Foreign Language Film.
