Lion!!!

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2018)

I think the cinematography was amazing in the first half of the movie but put the last half to shame. All of the actors were great at their roles and portrayed emotion as if it was real life. Little Saroo, big Saroo and his Australian mother were great at their roles but I found the girlfriends role in the finding of his mother unnecessary and cringe worthy. Although not having a predominant role in the film David Wenham depicted perfectly the typical Australian father.
Overall I believe by watching Lion you will gain more than just an experience watching emotive acting and beautiful cinematography. The film will open your eyes to the reality for many people living in extreme poverty and the hardships they encountered dailey.
