LION

Rating: 6/10 (2 May 2018)

Although this is a theatre worthy film, this astonishing tale of a young boy in India who lost his way and found himself in a foreign country with adopted parents triggers audiences to relate and connect emotionally with the child actor Sunny Pawer, this is sadly not the case later on in the film.
LION fast forward 20 years into the future, when Dev Patel steps in as Saroo which alters the film entirely, the confusing and unclear events is hard to catch up on and comprehend. It's depressing acts and poor attempt to exaggerate panic, desperateness and helplessness does not connect with the audience like the promising beginning. This part is in need of a fair amount of improvement.
But nevertheless, the film LION is worth the time to see because of its total uniqueness and incorporation of world issues which separates it from other films.
