Heartbreaking movie. It should've got the Oscar.

[@EmilBurganov]

it got Oscar.

[@betty8444]

@@EmilBurganov Oscar from the Academy Awards?! No it didn't. You are wrong. It was nominated, but didn't win an Oscar. If you ask me it deserves the Oscar, it was the best movie on that list.

[@MariaShido]

T. Eve Zain won an Oscar actually . It’s called young academy Awards

[@shreyas_shrinitha]

Will never get Oscar coz they'll be noticed by the world which some countries don't want

I am from India and I can unarguably say that this kid’s acting is better than 99% of all the Bollywood actors here.

[@SophieAngom]

I just watched this movie, breaks my heart. Everybody did their part really well. A big shout out to Nadine for showing a glimpse of how refugees struggle. Just so sad.

[@princeandrey]

Refugees and desperately poor people all around the world.

[@boxingmonkey2450]

I watched both Roma and this . . . Capernaum should have picked up the Oscar his Year . . . Sensational film

[@prometheus5405]

'Shoplifters' from Japan also great story-wise

[@curtbarnes4294]

Saw both Shoplifters and Roma. Capernaum was better. So much variety and ingenuity in the shots, so much grit in the story, and the leading actors were so solid. Nadine was phenomenal. A true masterpiece.

[@sc0408]

at Cannes Festival, Shoplifters won the Palme D'or while Capernaum won the Grand Jury Prize at Venice Festival, Roma won the Golden Lion interestingly, all three films are BETTER than "Bohemian Rhapsody" which won Best Picture at the oscars all three films were nominated only as 'Best Foreign Language Film' as they were not eligible for Best Picture, which goes to say thay the Oscars are full of crap and that we should watch out for Film Festivals instead

[@curtbarnes4294]

of course with "Parasite" foreign films were eligible for Best Picture for the first time. the Oscars affect box office and so it's good they catch up. The Golden Globes are usually a better indicator of quality, even so

[@sc0408]

@@curtbarnes4294 thankfully the Oscars are changing, albeit slowly. though the golden globes and the oscars are probably the biggest award ceremonies in film, a better indicator of quality of a film for me is to see that "stamp" from Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Sundance, Telluride, Toronto, among others. that "stamp"signifies that the film is part of the official selection of the festival, chosen by a nonpartisan committee of these festivals who actually watched all the films which were submitted. and i mean they really watch all of it, hundreds of films every year the fact alone that the film is chosen is already a testament to its quality, more so if it actually won an award such as the Palme D'or, Golden Lion, Golden Bear, and etc. I mean these awards are given to the "BEST FILM" from such a diverse selection. definitely better than an academy award or a golden globe

[@faheemahmed585]

this movie needs more recognition a hugely underrated piece of work

One of the most deeply affecting films ever ever seen, and certainly the most grueling!

The boy is so good ACTOR!!!!

[@giulial5011]

He wasn’t acting... he went through the same things

[@shinparklee_2khorizon]

I will sue my parents... because I was born!!! This truly hit me...huh..

No film ever has made me emotional as this one. First time i cry in the theaters. I want to say because it's a much powerful film with a strong humane message... but also because it's in my native language, and in my country. And to see a part of the city I've never seen (in this depth). It completely shattered my heart.

[@jackkrieger9150]

A great movie. It's a marvel. Hope rich people could understand the human struggles and remember that they're humans too. Not all people were born fortunate. Some need a helping hand.
