review

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2009)

Danny Boyle returns to fine form in one of the most inspiring films of the year. Fantastic cinematography combined with excellent acting from Dev Patel playing Jamal Malick a young man facing challenges which lead him to one place in the hot seat on ''who wants to be a millionaire' .
Supported by an excellent supporting class [ the children playing the younger Jamal are truly exceptional] Slumdog Millionaire is a film which subverts the Hollywood narrative and looks at another side of life which is not seen by many it shows how courage above adversity triumphs and how it is destiny which leads you to a place which will change your life.
