Powerful and Unforgettable

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2017)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Lion" (2016) is definitely one of the most involving and powerful stories done in 2016. What is the most amazing thing is that this is a true story. Its not hard to imagine kinds being lost now and especially back then in India, but its hard to imagine a more deeply moving coming back home story of one of those lost kids.
I was involved into this movie more then i could imagine even i knew it was nominated for 6 Oscars. The storytelling here is magnificent. Directing by Garth Davis and writing by Luke Davies and Saroo Brierley himself was amazing - deeply moving, superbly paced and involving. Acting was top notch from everyone involved, and if there was one moment during the whole running time almost 2 hours that i thought "it was done mainly for Oscar bait" and this is Nicole Kidman monologue about her childhood nevertheless everyone shined in this movie especially Dev Patel, Priyanka Bose, Nicole Kidman and Sunny Pawar (as Young Saroo).
Overall, "Lion" is definitely a movie that should be seen by everyone. It tells a true, powerful and deeply moving story about how you should never give up on hope of searching. Great movie.
