Nobody ever said searching for your mother would be easy,
Lion deals with aspects of origin and identity, and that we cannot escape from who we really are. Its subject matter is something people need to be made more aware of.
The acting performances are outstanding: Nicole Kidman is at her best while the five year-old Saroo (Sunny Pawar) is the heart of the film and hats off to Dev Patel. He managed to make you feel the character’s pain just by the way he looked at a jalebi (a sweet that his brother and he fantasized about back in India).
Lion is based on a true story. For those in love with technology, watch Google Maps work its magic.
I did truly like this film and had a string of emotions throughout. Starting with anger on how poorly strangers and agencies dealt with an obviously lost young child.
Bring your hankies and GO see this film.
