"'Capernaum' begins with what looks like the preamble to a high-profile custody battle. A haunted-looking couple arrive at court in a flurry of flash-bulbs and microphones, where they're joined by their 12-year-old son, who skulks into the chamber with a gaggle of stewards. But it soon becomes clear that the seating plan isn't quite right for a divorce: in this case, the boy is the plaintiff, and the mother and father are about to be judged. To pin-drop silence, young Zain (Zain Al Rafeea) announces that he wants to sue his parents "for giving me life" - which is, without question, a weighty statement for any 12-year-old to make. But wait until you see the life they gave him." (The Telegraph)
