Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
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.
Movie of the decade. RIP oscars jury. Loved every part of the movie and Dev Patel acting was outstanding. Best emotional movie ever.
Lion, is an inspirational movie that depicts the story of a boy by the name of 'Saroo' who was lost in India and continues to search for his family 25 years later. Lion is a heart wrenching movie that gives the audience the opportunity to truly connect with Saroo's journey throughout India. The middle of the movie was abit out of context and possibly not needed. However the ending was phenomenal as it contains the real footage of his biological mother meeting his adoptive mother. Overall, this movie is a great movie that the whole family can connect to emotionally.
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)
