El emocionante primer tercio con Sunny Pawar perdido es excelente. El niño va camino a Hollywood, un actor infantil tan fotogénico y talentoso aparece solo una vez cada década. Los acontecimientos posteriores de la película, sin embargo, están revueltos en la narración de causa / efecto y la parte final tan emocionante para el espectador es prolongada y muy directa y lo echa a perder todo.

Krásný a dojemný příběh, který mě až rozplakal. Ze všech na Oscara nominovaných filmů jsem si jej nechal nakonec a spolu s Místem u moře a Hacksaw Ridge je jediný, který nominaci získal oprávněně. Poutavě zobrazený příběh strastiplné cesty, výborný výkon Deva Patela a Nicole Kidman. Smutné, moc smutné.

If I think about it, this movie has the most beautiful premise of all those movies nominated for an Oscar. You see, it shows that the existence of the Western world sometimes really does make sense. I feel sorry that the first half of the movie with the Indian lead role is much nicer and better than the other half. Dev Patel, even though he is a very good actor, put into the movie a whole number of questions and misunderstood moments, which is not say that I have to understand those, but he simply didn’t convince me to actually root for him. Sunny Pawar was probably the best child actor I have ever seen and scenes involving him were a pure balm for the soul. I must say that it’s been quite long sice I had two opinions about a single movie that are so strongly influenced by the acting performance in the lead role. But as a whole, I do agree that Lion is a huge movie and it’s beautiful to see that even stories like these can have a happy ending.

The first half, set in India, is almost worthy of a full rating, it makes you realise how spoiled and pampered our Western civilisation is, with all the packed supermarkets, hygiene standards and plenty of drinking water. The Indian realities are fantastically rendered here, last seen so impressively in a Hollywood studio film 9 years ago in Slumdog Millionaire. Unfortunately, the rest of the film is a drawn out thing that could have been told in 10 minutes, while emotionally it only slightly touched me. It’s a shame, the potential was there. This film is proof of what masters the Weinstein brothers are at promoting their films in the pre-Oscars season, the boys are able to push it beautifully with academics and journalists, the nominations are out of whack.

I wasn't sure about the one-sided focus on pitying orphaned or abandoned Indian children, but when the motives increase with each passing minute, it turns into a whole different story. Saroo is not only searching for family and answers, but also himself, and in the portrayal by a seasoned Dev Patel, I believe him in this role to the very last minute. When combined with Nicole Kidman's well-received dramatic comeback, this year's academic underdog becomes a surprisingly ambitious piece, easily surpassing some of the overly obvious favorites.
