A film that blew away the whole family.

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2017)

Right from the start, this film had us captivated. For the first hour and a half this film shows Saroo'a journey after getting separated from his brother whilst on a job. It is an utterly heartbreaking experience which shows how cruel a child can be treat, but also how they can be saved. My whole family just couldn't stop crying, it's a beautiful picture which continues to stay as brilliant when it skips to 20 years later. The ending is magical and tragic at the same time. For someone who doesn't normally cry at films, this one made me sob throughout. Words just cannot explain how much you feel for Saroo, you just want to save him from the nightmare that he is experiencing and are so glad when he is finally adopted even though you know he has a loving family out there.
