Review of Lion (2016) by Shahab K — 10 Feb 2017

Lion is a must see movie. A true story about how a five-year-old boy goes out with older brother never to return to his home. Saroo gets lost and we are taken on this epic tear jerking adventure that fills you will all these mixed emotions.

How Saroo survives this adventure that takes him nearly to another country and how he gets away from all the kidnapping attempts is gut wrenching.

One thing you will find in this movie is the high's and lows of humanity.

Watching Lion made me mad and upset because seeing how human nature saw a child and every one of them besides a handful wanted to harm the child in so many ways.

Even to the point he gets to go to an orphanage is still risky and this is no Oliver Musical this five-year-old had to grow up fast.

All I can say is watching this movie it is one of the best I have seen so far this year.

Sunny Pawar little Saroo is amazing in his performance his performance builds the entire 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.

Nicole Kidman is not one of my favs but finally, she had made a movie that has meaning and Nicole portrays this loving Accepting Aussie mum.

For some, of you will need to bring out the tissue box it is emotional.

A movie for all to watch and be grateful for what the have.

100% Recommended. This should win an OSCAR!!!
