Review of Lion (2015) by Joyce D — 22 Feb 2017

'Lion' is a must see movie! A true story about how a five-year-old boy goes out with his older brother, never to return home. Saroo gets lost and we are taken on an epic, moving adventure that fills us with emotion. How Saroo survives and manages to get away from all the kidnapping attempts is truly gut wrenching.

Sunny Pawar (little Saroo) is amazing in his performance and really carries the movie and connects you emotionally to Saroo's epic tale. Dev Patel then picks up the baton and runs with it, continuing the emotional journey. For some of you, a box of tissues will be required as it's quite emotional.

One for all to watch and be grateful for what they have. A passionate, deep and genuinely moving movie. Highly recommended!
