Absolutely amazing and I just can't find the right words to describe Sunny Pawar in this film. His portrayal of Young Saroo is heartbreaking but so wonderful. What a brilliant little actor he is

What a beautiful and emotional journey.
I knew I was gonna cry like a little baby at the end.
Thank you Saroo for sharing your story.

This was one of 2016 best movies, i haven't seen Fences (which i don't have much hope) and Manchester by the sea but i think we have a solid winner. A fantastic true story, very inspiring and sad with a magnificent little actor Sunny Pawar. This is a must see, it will have you in tears.

Broke me into a million pieces. Emotionally shattering, both as a film and the true story behind it. Tremendous performance from the young lead but kudos to all involved. I wish the film had spent a little more time with Saroo as a child, letting us see his adjustment into the western lifestyle. However, that is my only quibble with the film. Ultimately the film left me feeling inspired, but also very sad. Without going into spoilers, the statements during the credits reveal more of the backstory, one of which is incredibly upsetting. Still, its a wake up call to all of us - we need to be selfless when it comes to doing more good in the world we live in.

De lo mejor del 2016.... Excelente!

the moment when you find out your name and your place is miss spelling .unbelievable story.

There's many good things to say about this movie. The cinematography was particularly stunning with beautiful and shocking scenes from India. But in the end this is the kind of film and annoys me more than it warms my heart. Maybe I'm a monster but I cannot feel sympathy for a character that has everything for him and ultimately is his own and only enemy. Saroo had loving adoptive family, supportive friends and a girlfriend who insisted on helping him, but instead of letting them help, he alienated everybody.

Didn’t really know what to expect when I sat down in the cinema to watch this movie, but what I had heard from others where: Strong movie, a bit long, very good film, touching story…

So not that much info before the movie started.

So what did I think of it… Lion tells a very strong and heartfelt story that touches the very essence of storytelling thru great cinematics and acting. It has a strong story to tell and it does so in a gripping and visual exciting way, where the 2 hours it lasted quickly passes and when the light comes back, you can’t help but has to wipe away a couple of tears that has gathered in the corners of your eyes.

Normally this is not the kind of movie I enjoy watching, but I must say that I am happy I did. I would have missed a great movie, that I absolutely loved, although It could be 15-20 min shorter.
