LION REVIEW

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2018)

This movie is a major tear jerker and beautiful story! The first part of the movie is absolutely fantastic with Sunny Pawar's amazing performance that draws the audience in so well. It's fair to see he is a star on the rise!
The movie has a beautiful and real story line and although it has been changed to be a Hollywood film the authenticity is still there especially in the opening act when the Hindi language is used and in the end when their are real life shots shown.
Although this movie is fantastic the second half when Dev Patel is main the movie quality shifts from a 9/10 to a 7/10. This is because this part feels a lot slower and feels as though something is missing, it is almost as if as an audience member you feel less empathy and connection with the character.
I would definitely recommend this movie as I think it is very different to what you see these days in movies and I think the quality and story is amazing!
