I gave this film my highest rating at 2017 tiff - my only 9

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2017)

Unfortunately, at the second screening there was no Q&A.
I had a great question.
It was about the young boy.
The central character that this film was entirely about.
He was either very carefully selected or was actually groomed for the part.
That was my question. Did you groom a young Indian boy over years for this role?
I think that they did.
An emotional roller-coaster to be sure. I was a young boy once, and when I think of a lost boy meeting his long lost mother after all those years my eyes well up with tears, as they do now, as I am writing this.
During the film festival I repeatedly said the best film I had seen was this one. When asked why, I did not, for fear of ruining it for the people that asked me.
Additional screenings were added for this film I hope because of my praise for this film.
Harvey, this might be your greatest achievement in film making.
Get ready.
