A film of loss, courage, memories, and a search to reconnect after a new life.

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 2017)

"Lion" is one of those feel good movies of hope and love that has you as the viewer seeing how life can take different directions and new paths in an unexpected way, yet with memories it becomes a journey to go back to one's roots and once again experience love and belonging.
The story is pretty simple set in the mid 1980's a young Indian boy becomes lost from his brother on the Calcutta streets as a train leaves. It then becomes a journey and test of the will to live, only it takes a turn when he's adopted by a wealthy Australia couple and life becomes different only still the memories of his early life flash back and fourth only to come full circle and 25 years later this young man finds his mom after many different experiences of love and hope. Overall okay film of love, memories, and hope and the performances from Nicole Kidman, Dev Patel, and Rooney Mara make the film an A okay watch.
