Lion (2016)

This tells the true story of a boy, Saroo, who got lost when separated from his brother and he ended up 1500km from his home in Kolkata, a place that he didn't speak the language and where grown men tried to kidnap him. But, eventually he was put in an orphanage until Sue (Played by Nicole Kidman) and her husband, from Australia, adopted him. Then, they adopt his brother who has rage and self-harms. Then, twenty years late you see Saroo as an adult (played by Dev Patel) going to school to be a hotel manager, he meets Lucy (Played by Rooney Mara) which intern endears him to find his family using Google Earth. The film which is dramatic throughout , which did make me cry, but, when watching it with my mum there wasn't any subtitles, and so we watched a good hour of the film just pondering as to what they may have been saying in Hindu and Bengali, it wasn't until after we realised we forgot to press that button.
I rate this film a 17/20.
