Tells a moving, uplifting and gripping tale to the tune of one of the best, most emotive soundtracks of recent years.

Rating: 7/10 (21 March 2018)

Surprisingly dark for a 'PG' movie, 'Lion (2016)' tells the captivating story of a boy separated from his mother and the journey he takes as a man to try and find her again. It's a moving, heart-breaking, gripping and uplifting tale of loss, heritage, hope, determination, family and finding oneself in the process of finding others. Its phenomenal soundtrack evokes all the feelings of the film tenfold, and in tandem with the feature it creates an extremely emotive experience that does slow down in its second half - due to its straightforward, linear presentation of the material - but ends on a near perfect moment that will surely put a smile on your lips and a tear in your eye. 7/10
