This movie moved me!

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2017)

The beginning scenes shot in India were great and the child actor did a great job with it. Nicole Kidman as the kid's mother did a convincing job. I admire Dev Patel and he played his part really well. It was really convincing and brought me to the edge of my seat. Knowing that it is a true story heightened its impact.
All thanks to Google Earth for getting a family together again.
I was impressed with the story-line and the dialogues were on the spot. I wish more of his life growing up and adjusting to life in Australia were covered, but wouldn't cut any part of the movie for it. His frustrations dealing with his repressed memories looked so real that I couldn't breathe for some moments.
The only peeve I have with the movie is that I wish Rooney Mara had a bigger role.
