Lion around waiting for something to happen.

Rating: 3/10 (6 December 2016)

Some critics will love it. Most audiences will be bored beyond belief. The movie is the story of the very long journey of a young boy separated from his family and his Google search to find his way back to his birth mother.
The journey is long redundant and tedious. The performances are convincing but it gets to the point of when will we see the top supporting cast? Once they appear, there is plenty of dialogue. Every character is sad and depressed.
If you make it through to the end, you are rewarded with shots of the real people. The snap shots have a far more emotional range then the movie footage. Those staying to the end will know why the title "Lion".
The only reason to see this in a theater would be to get out of the rain. There is some beautiful cinematography but not enough to justify a theater admission.
