Title: Lion
Review: An absolutely beautiful film in every way. A Homeric journey to find his roots leads Dev from his Australian life back to remote India to find the family he was separated from at age four. A disturbing picture of the plight of children in India mixed with truly moving epic story. Patel is wonderful playing against type, the supporting cast is great and the young boy who plays the lead as a child, Sunny Patar, is beyond brilliant. Be prepared to shed tears for this one.
