Lion's treatment is really Hollywoodish. Good thing is the story really happened. This fact, in mind as I watch the movie, makes me enjoy and actually cry in some scenes. I like how the movie discusses subtly determination, identity, hope, and courage (to live despite unforgiving circumstances). The movie shows everything on the point of view of a five-year-old child, even when the child is 25 years older.
Both Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman deliver great performances. And the musical score is something noteworthy.
Rating: 4.0/4.0
