kayumanggi Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Rooney Mara & More Join Nicole Kidman and Dev Patel in ‘Lion’ http://t.co/2GkrS3g7tA pic.twitter.com/jnm7iCjSww — The Film Stage (@TheFilmStage) April 7, 2015 In Lion, five-year-old Saroo finds himself alone and travelling on the wrong train away from his home in northern India. Frightened and bewildered, he winds up thousands of kilometers away, in chaotic Kolkata. Somehow he survives living on the streets, dodging all sorts of terrors in the process. Eventually ending up in an orphanage, Saroo is adopted by an Australian couple, and finds safety and love as he grows up in Hobart. Not wanting to hurt his adoptive parents’ feelings, he buries his past, his emotional need for reunification and his hope of ever finding his lost mother and brother. But a chance meeting with some fellow Indians reawakens his secret yearnings. With just a small store of memories, and the help of a new technology called Google Earth, Saroo embarks on one of the greatest needle-in-a-haystack quests of modern times…the search for where he came from.

First half great, second half meh I thought the second half was a fall off but a bit better than meh more like a B to the first half's A. The child - Sunny Pawar was exceptional and the first half was just more emotional, raw and powerful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the first half was powerful but the second was much more by the numbers and uninteresting. Patel/Kidman carried it, though.
