kellycallaghan "A heart filling, inspirational film done right...deeply moving...a gripping film...the power of technology creates spectacular moments like this..."Director, Garth Davis, adapts the extraordinary fictional story of Brierley's life into his film 'Lion', which is the creation of award winning material. Brierley's separation from his family across the globe, with only decades-old memories to guide him home and the lifesaver of technology to lead them back together in the end. Davis grounds the cultural authenticity throughout the movie, with the first half of the film in Hindi. He even includes actors in which english is their second language speak english for the purpose of the majority of the American audience from reading the subtitles. Each actor is uniquely a stand out in their roles, which contribute to the fantastic setting and storyline displayed through the impressive filmmaking. Sunny Pawar truly captivated his audience, despite that was his first acting role ever. The amazing Dev Patel carries the rest of the film in strong hope of finding his family. Stars such as Rooney Mara, Nicole Kidman and David Wenham well delivered such passionate roles.Davis offers a distinctive story through "Lion" that is definitely appropriate, inspiring and thrilling for everyone.

karinageber Lion, is an inspirational movie that depicts the story of a boy by the name of 'Saroo' who was lost in India and continues to search for his family 25 years later. Lion is a heart wrenching movie that gives the audience the opportunity to truly connect with Saroo's journey throughout India. The middle of the movie was abit out of context and possibly not needed. However the ending was phenomenal as it contains the real footage of his biological mother meeting his adoptive mother. Overall, this movie is a great movie that the whole family can connect to emotionally.
