In addition to having no shortage of emotional power, "Lion" also brings up some earnest humanitarian issues.

Emotionally effective drama that does sometimes feel like two separate movies. However, Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman are great, delivering excellent performances. Newcomer Sunny Pawar is immediately endearing to the audience as the young Saroo who makes his harrowing and often frightening journey though the dark streets of Calcutta as a lost child. Patel plays an older Saroo who is compelled to retrace his roots and reunite with his Indian family with the assistance of his adoptive family (mother played by Kidman).

It is the mark of a great movie when it can make you feel as many and as wide a range of emotions that this movie did. I cried because of sadness and happinesses and I felt both luck and selfish during the tow hours of this movie. I highly recommend it.

Lion offers a story that is staggeringly remarkable but then, in the meantime, totally universal. It is a sincerely emotional film about being lost and getting found and finding yourself. Pawar is nearly unfairly great as the youthful Saroo and regardless of the fact that Patel is exceptional, the film gives the more seasoned adaptation of the character less to do (or, in any event, insufficient time to do it).
