Unbelievable film! One of the very best that I have seen.

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2017)

This movie is truly exceptional. Everything about it is perfectly done. The way the story is told, the acting, everything is outstanding.
Lion really resonates with you for a while after seeing it. The story is an epic tale of how one tiny decision can change the course of your entire life. The acting is impeccable. It reminds me a lot of Slumdog Millionaire, however, the story could not be more different. Lion is the true story of a boy who begs his brother to go to work a night shift with him and he falls asleep at the train station. When he wakes, he finds that the station is deserted. He goes onto the train in the station and falls asleep. When he wakes up the train is moving and does not stop for 1600 Kms. By the time he gets to the destination, he does not know where he is, where he is from or what his mothers name is. He is eventually taken to a center for street kids and is one of the very lucky ones who is adopted by a well-to-do Australian family. When he grows up he decides to look for his real Mom and tracks down the place with Google earth.
This movies should win Best Picture at the Academy awards. I personally think that ion and Hacksaw Ridge are the best of the year. 10/10. Definite watch!
