Movie No. 11 (2017): LION
Lion (2016)
Director: Garth Davis
Cast: Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman, Rooney Mara, David Wenham, Sunny Pawar
In English and Hindi, with English subtitles
Lion's treatment is really Hollywoodish. Good thing is the story really happened. This fact, in mind as I watch the movie, makes me enjoy and actually cry in some scenes. I like how the movie discusses subtly determination, identity, hope, and courage (to live despite unforgiving circumstances). The movie shows everything on the point of view of a five-year-old child, even when the child is 25 years older.

Both Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman deliver great performances. And the musical score is something noteworthy.
