Good story, Not enough for a whole film

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The great biopic film show real life actors who had good family and close to his older brother. Love the child actor who is cool great star better than Slumdog Millionaire. He get chance meeting celebrities. Unfortunately, after OBama end era, Trump ban to see Hollywood. The film is very touching loss of brother( family ).

LION was a fantastic film that must be watched by everyone. All actors were amazing but I was absolutely blown away by Sunny Pawar, who played young Saroo. He pulled the audience's heart strings with the struggles he faced trying to return home. I was also equally amazed at the child actor that played the role of Saroo's adopted brother. His performance in the short amount of time he had on screen was raw and astounding. He managed to make the audience feel various emotions and you can see that he must of faced a lot of conflict and has suffered which made him the way he is now. Both child actors gave an outstanding performance in their roles. When Saroo is a grown man he has relationship problems with his girlfriend which created some drama. I thought this was unnecessary and was not needed in the film. Otherwise, the film was great and all the actors did an outstanding job in their roles.

EVERYONE WATCH THIS!!!!!!If your in the mood for a heartwarming tearjerker, then I've got the movie for you...This film perfectly illustrates the importance of family and our heritage. Not only does this capture the essence of family but also the true beauty of India but also the troubles the lower class in India. The story follows Saroo, a young Indian boy who ends up very far away from home after being lost for months he is adopted by an Australian couple. By the time Saroo is 25 he has a longing for his biological mother and brother and he sets out on a mission to find them!This movie is important for our society to see, make sure everyone you know sees this!

Three words to describe this film; inspiring, authentic, real. If you enjoy movies based on these, LION won't let you down. Firstly, Sunny Pawer who plays young Sheru, executes his role perfectly by allowing the audience to empathise and engage in the emotions and experiences undertaken by him. Dev Patel continues the story as grown up Sheru, providing insight into the struggles felt, whilst in collaboration with Nicole Kidman and David Wen-ham, who both are outstanding within their roles. The script is unique and captivating, as a fair part of the film is in Hindu with english subtitles to support audiences. The Indian relations of the setting as well as cast make sense to the story and flow nicely, portraying the true story as closely as possible. The soundtrack relates to and tops off the film as a whole, providing an extra layer of emotion to the storyline.The refreshing storyline of this film, allows the audience to understand and engage easier. The based on a true story aspect adds to this.However, the introduction of Sheru's girlfriend seems unnecessary and doesn't add anything important to the storyline of the film, and in my opinion if I had to classify any part of the film as 'boring', it would be this.Overall, a compelling real life story transformed into an extraordinary film. I highly recommend the watch by everyone and guarantee it will be enjoyed greatly.
