LION – Biography/Drama (2016) – Rated PG
Nominated for six Academy Awards® Lion is the magnificent portrayal of Saroo Brierley, separated from his family in India in 1987 and eventually adopted by Hobart couple, Sue (Nicole Kidman) and John Brierley (David Wenham). This is a story about family, determination and the complex nature of identity, executed with heart and poignancy by first-time feature film director, Garth Davis. It is a film about human connection and perseverance, touching on the whole spectrum of humanity, from the exceptionally good to the gravely bad. With stunning performances by Sunny Pawar, Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman, this impeccable cast successfully portrays the unthinkable reality that was faced by Saroo and his family, and then some. The film builds up to a highly emotional climax, and does not disappoint. Lion is a story with heart and reveals that the distance between continents is measured in more than just kilometres. This powerful and moving story about love, identity, and destiny will stay with you long after you leave The Odeon. We’ll supply the tissues. (Acknowledgements to Caitlin Rudd – thereelworld.net)
