Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2017)

Absolutely LOVED this movie even if I did cry copiously throughout and am still crying hours after watching it. So profound and moving. The cinematography was also amazing. The acting esp. from the young boys in the first part of the movie = outstanding. The part at the orphanage just did me in - what a nasty soulless heartless place. I'm just glad some of the kids were adopted. Kills me to think of them lost not just there but on the streets.
I'm watching it through western eyes of course so everything looks horrific to me even though I'm married to an Indian man but I look at my daughters and wonder what if that was them?
Harrowing yet beautiful and very well made. I applaud everyone involved in the production and really hope it gets SOME Oscar love!!!
