Lion Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
cmc2392 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 ).
andrearhodes-13133 What makes Lion a must watch is the uplifting story and great performances especially from young Sunny Pawar. This journey isn't cliched and Garth Davies(in his directorial debut) makes sure he hits all the right notes and doesn't pander to sentimentality which can happen in movies of this kind.(Go watch Lion for its sheer uplifting story)
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.
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)
