Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2017)

An incredible true story. Given the justice and portrayal it deserves through beautiful cinematography, acting and story telling.
The two young Indian boys are magnificent the youngest especially who did not start learning English till after filming.
The opening hour or so uses minimal dialogue but harrowingly beautiful well shot scenes and cinematography to highlight the intensity of a child going missing, the deep loneliness and the need for survival. As well as emphasising the uncomfortable reality of childhood poverty and missing children in India.
From there the film builds on this unbelievable true story. Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman once again at there best. Highlighting the mental strain, the anguish and emotional drain caused when the story behind Dev Patel's character eats away at him, testing the family's relationship.
Despite this seemingly depressing plot the film fills you with overwhelming feelings of love and happiness, for life and family. Along with gratefulness for what we have and the desire to help those less fortunate
Free up 3 hours of your day and go and see this film. You will not be disappointed
