Best film of the past few years

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2017)

"Lion" is truly spectacular in that it manages to let you know the storyline early on, create the background and parallel stories (mother, girlfriend, studies) without it being too distracting. A truly inspirational film, well-balanced, great cast (little Saroo is exceptional). Regarding Patel, well, there are some faces that convey emotion easier than others. Many actors may try as hard as they can but Patel will only look at you and get the emotion through. A must-see. Also, Sia delivers a really fitting soundtrack.
