Lion

raniab shared a tip "I can’t imagine anyone not liking this incredible emotional movie. There is so much hurt in the world that many of us are oblivious to. 80,000 children go missing every year in India. Heartbreaking"

monica_maniatakos shared a tip "One of the best movies I’ve watched in ages. It makes you examine generational-cultural loss, and helps you rediscover hope, and triumph. So deep. ❤️"

chloecosmo shared a tip "What a fantastic film. Definitely a slower film but once you really set into it, you can’t help but laugh, shed a few tears, and feel inspired to be a bigger person after watching. 9.5/10"

misha_fox shared a tip "A beautiful well crafted movie. Its a long watch, but it’s impossible to not take your attention away from it. I heard about it a long time ago and I’m very glad to finally watch it XD"

naomi_alvarez_4138 shared a tip "Really great film, i was going to watch another movie after this but it was so good that I figured it could not be topped. The fact that it's a true story makes it that much more incredible. The film really has everything. I cannot recommend this movie enough."

mel_dee_2431 shared a tip "This is a movie very closely based on the real story of an Indian boy who gets lost from his brother, ends up in an orphanage and is adopted by an Australian couple. Thought provoking and resonant. One of those movies you think about long after it's finished. This also brings awareness to the plight of children in India. Highly recommend."

les_c. shared a tip "Well done biography of a very young Indian boy who was lost as a 5 year old and how his life progresses. As an adult, his heart continues to be drawn to his origins & he must find his way home. Through modern technology, Google Earth, his quest is more easily traced, especially in his relentless pursuit. The movie drags at points, characters are undeveloped & it tends to be a bit sappy & predictable - but it's a true story. Worth a watch as lost Indian children is not uncommon in India"

christine_mcmillan shared a tip "This movie is a masterpiece. It’s the classic story of wanting to know where you come from. However, this beautifully heart wrenching film is both a transformation for the actual actor (in the sense that we’ve never seen him in a role like this) and the films actor. It’s a film about trusting yourself, never giving up, and the true power of familial bonds."

deltadot45 shared a tip "Oh I loved every detail of this movie! Is based on a true story! He is an Indian kid, with Australian parents who adopted him since kid…. Where the journey begins to find who he really was!!! ❤️"

sarah_christensen shared a tip "A beautiful story about finding home and the great usefulness of Google maps (both topics I love) with powerful performances by Dev Patel and Sunny Pawar. I bawl every time I watch this."

denise_puckett shared a tip "This movie was incredible!! One of the best movie I have seen in awhile..and it is a true story..your emotions will be like a roller coaster 10+"

valerie_ain shared a tip "This was a wonderful movie about the heart, spirit & tenacity of one main character. I cried, smiled, laughed & cheered for him. A must see film"

laura_blondeau shared a tip "I absolutely cried through the whole movie, then while describing it to a friend months later, went in to full ugly cry again... at work ........"

isabelle_haskell shared a tip "Lion was an inspiration to me, as someone who was also adopted and searching for my family. Every time i watched this film I felt hope for my own search. The acting was perfect and the story beautiful in a way that anyone who knows about adoption and orphanages can relate to. It is not a fun thing to go through, it is ugly, it is painful. This film however shows hope, resilience and determination in the human spirit."

lnnea_fletcher shared a tip "I want to say everything... which I know isn't helpful. The content is heartbreaking...The acting is phenomenal. There is a reason Dev Patel was nominated for an Oscar for his performance (which IMO he should have got)."

karen_haberly shared a tip "Impossible for me to say, I have lots of faves. Wasn't this movie amazing? Riveting, heartbreaking, joyous, hopeful....so many emotions. 💔"
