Review of Lion (2016) by Sanyrub — 13 Nov 2017
Very moving film that made me get emotional like very few in the last couple of years. The story is important and once again (after Slumdog) it gives us an idea of how it is like to belong to the poor clash in India.
That first part of the film lasts almost until the middle, which is how it should be order to make the viewer be able to put themselves in the position if these children, at least have an idea. Then we get to know the family and many things that come with adoption.
As expected Nicole Kidman nails it as the new mother. But especial kudos to the leading actor, who has the charisma to carry any film in my opinion. All the cast is great and you´ll be involved with the story no doubt.
I don´t give it more than a 7 because somehow the film is not new and doesn´t have the creativity and art something like Moonlight posesses for example. But everything is on point, cinematography and all.
Must see. Important story, a reflection of millions.
