Lion, directed by Garth Davis and starring Dev Patel,  Nicole Kidman and Rooney Mara tells the true story of Saroo Brierley, a young boy separated from his family in Calcutta at age five, and his journey to find them 25 years later.

Slumdog Millionnaire (2008) is the last great Dev Patel movie I saw. I’m sure there’s a handful I’ll get to soon, but I’d really like to start with Lion. Bring on the  happy ending, I say.  If only  for all the other times when the real life endings are far from happy.

David Wenham, Tannishtha Chatterjee and Benjamin Rigby also star.

Lion Release Dates: October 12th, 2016 (UK); November 26th, 2016 (US)

Happy Film Loving,
