And a hankee for me too!

Heard of it "Lion" with "our" Nicole Kidman, so was looking forward to see it. I forgot it was the story of this Indian boy who got adopted but many years later had the urge to look for his mother. I had seen some excerpt of that story on TV and realised I was not going to see any safari! But what I saw was great. Dave Patel has become a true blue Aussie, but some memory about his youth come to haunt him and he has to act on it. At time it's very emotional. I always enjoy Nicole Kidman and was please to see the laconic David Wenham. Here he has not much screen or character time but it was good to see him. As for the young actor who plays the part before D Patel takes over, he's a joy to watch. You experience the life in a big city in India comparing to a privilege area in Australia and the contrast his huge, not that Australia does not have areas that you'd rather avoid. But it makes you ponder.
