Lion is based on a true story that is both incredibly uplifting and heartbreaking. Don't watch any trailers - go in blind. This film is a must-see.
-
Yes the movie is sentimental, but most of it feels earned. I think this is due to the straightforward linear narrative (a rare thing these days) without any voice-over narration (an even rarer thing these days) that allows the audience to experience everything without really knowing where it's headed.
-
An incredible true story told very well by Garth Davis and performed wonderfully by Dev Patel and the true star: Sunny Pawar. I work with children, and how you get a 6 year old to act as amazingly as he did is beyond me. It is an interesting and important story than informs and entertains.

You go into this movie pretty much knowing how it is going to end, but it still takes hold of you. This gripping cinematography is accompanied by a beautiful score, and the direction is somewhat entrancing. Hats of to the actors in this film young and old alike, I was no disappointed in the least great film.
