Overall: I can understand the appeal for this movie but I just personally hate it. I see it as a boring mess with some good acting and a heartwarming tale but I was just bored. I won't say I recommend but I can see why people like this film.

Good:
1. Both Dev Patel and Sunny Pawar do excellent jobs playing the character of Saroo.
2. Nicole Kidman, Rooney Mara and David Wenham do pretty good in each of their roles.
3. The story is pretty nice and the fact that it's true does make it spectacular.
4. Very nice music.
5. Set and Costume design was good.
6. Cinematography was good.
Bad:
1. I was so bored throughout. The first act just dragged on and on and on and on and on and on for me. It could easily have been cut down to 90 minutes.
4/10
DON'T RECOMMEND
