goudelock It's very difficult for anyone to not cry during the movie. Lion has a very good and experienced cast (Nicole Kidman is impressive) direction of the movie is astonishing and technically is perfect too.The only problem is in screenplay.For exaple we know such a few things for the life of Saru in Australia and likewise in his relationship with Rooney Mara so we can't follow the story between these two but its only a part of the movie.The guy who represent the 5 year old Saru is the apocalypse of the film and the ending its very touching so in conclusion Lion is a very good cinema experience.

love-sanne-love I watched the movie with my mom and that made it a lot sadder. i consistently wanted to grab her hand, as a little girl. the actors were surprisingly good. Especially the little boy and Dev Patel. I did find the overall storyline a bit strangly divided. doing 50/50 in a story of 20 years apart felt wrong. for example Dev's character did buy a house and moved in their in like 5 minutes. he also fell in love with rooney in seconds. i wanted more romance okey! the scene's with the real mother got me sad. the fact it was a real village with real people made it even more so.

gcagiloaloa 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.

mischabyrne-42351 'Lion' was able to capture the feeling of loss and hope in two hours. The cinematography shows the beauty of India and the main characters home town and while watching it I fell in love with his culture and his life as a little boy. The little boys performance was genuine- he wasn't overdramatic and knew how to play his part. This first act of the movie was well done. They captured his loss well and his struggle to understand what was happening. I didn't enjoy the other section of the movie. I thought that the use of the love interest was pointless and there wasn't enough time with the main character finding his home. This part was well done in terms of capturing the new mothers fear of his adopted son leaving. I preferred the kid actor though. This movie was well made and it played struck my heart.
