Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

imamarpaul Movie of the decade. RIP oscars jury. Loved every part of the movie and Dev Patel acting was outstanding. Best emotional movie ever.

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.

paigesanson The movie 'Lion' was such a heart-wrenching movie. The movie was set in India where a five year old child called 'Saroo' had lived, before getting lost on a train and not being able to communicate or know who his real family was for over 25 years. To get him by for all them years, he was adopted by a couple who lived in Tasmania. The movie 'Lion' explored many issues within the world.It was very interesting to see how different culture's live their day to day life. The most heart-wrenching thing throughout the movie was when 'Saroo' had to survive by himself without any food or assistance by anyone.

maisiechandler Lion is an authentic and amazing piece of cinematography, based on the astonishing true story of Saroo Brierley. Lion is an uplifting movie, supported by an incredible cast that compellingly portrays the moving journey of Saroo and his family. The movie is nothing like you have ever seen before and is a genuine experience unlike any other multi-race Hollywood movie. From the very first scene of the movie; played by the young and adorable Sunny Pawar, we are faced with an emotional rollercoaster, about the truths of children in India, and how the young 5 year old Saroo's life changed from the moment he stepped foot in the large and busy city of Calcutta. The movie is then carried by the wonderful Dev Patel who creates an enthralling performance in connecting the stories of Saroo throughout his life. Lion is a must see movie, that will keep you on your toes from start to end, and magnificently portrays the inspiring life of Saroo Brierley (Lion)
