- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017STUNNING PERFORMANCES BY ALL. A FANTASTIC SCRIPT. EVEN THE MUSIC TRANSFORMED YOUR SENSES AND SWEPT YOU AWAY TO INDIA AND THE MOST ADORABLE LITTLE BOY AND A BEAUTIFUL SON. AND I WAS VERY GLAD TO SEE THAT THE PEOPLE IN HIS FAMILY REALLY LEARNED SOMETHING ABOUT LIFE BECAUSE IN THIS CASE, IN THIS KIND OF STORY, THE WAY IT SHOULD GO WHEN BOTH SIDES OF ONE'S LIFE IS GOOD, WAS GOOD, WHEN YOU FIND A LOST ONE THE MEMBERS ARE SUPPOSE TO COME TOGETHER IN A BOND EVEN IF THAT BOND IS NOT CALLED '''FAMILY'''' .....BUT IT IS FAMILY. IT REALLY IS FAMILY AND I'M SORRY WHEN I SEE THESE CASES AND THE PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW IT REALLY IS A FAMILY CONNECTION.
I KNOW A STORY ABOUT A YOUNG GIRL AT EIGHTEEN WHO WAS PREGNANT WITHOUT MARRIAGE. SHE WAS ADOPTED BY A MOTHER WITH FOUR DAUGHTERS AND THAT CONNECTION LASTED 50 YEARS UNTIL THE OLD LADY'S DEATH IN HER 80S. 'THE BIO MOTHER OF THE YOUNG WOMAN WAS SO DISTRAUGHT OVER THE PREGNANCY BEFORE MARRIAGE, WHICH WAS DECADES EARLIER FROM WHEN SHE MET THE ADOPTED MOTHER AND SHE FELT NO GRATITUDE, NO THANKS, SHE FELT ANGER. SHE NEVER TOLD THE ADOPTED MOTHER '''THANKS''' FOR HELPING HER CHILD ALONG THE WAY. *THIS MOTHER MET HER OWN FOLLY BECAUSE OF HER ILL- WITTED SPIRIT. **BUT THEN, IT IS UPON ME TO NOTE THAT THE BIO--MOTHER FELT ANGRY BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS UNLOVED AND ABANDONED BY HER FIVE CHILDREN, WHO WERE OUT IN THE WORLD GAINING SUCCESS AND WAS PREPARING A WAY FOR HER TO JOIN THEM. BUT THE BIO-MOTHER COULD NOT SEE THAT. SO SHE WAS ANGRY AND NASTY AND DIDN'T FEEL GRACE AND THE BLESSINGS AND THANKSGIVING TOWARD THE ADOPTING MOTHER WHO ALSO FELT ABANDONED BY HER FOUR DAUGHTERS. ONLY ONE OF HER DAUGHTERS WAS THERE ON A DAILY BASIS AND THAT DAUGHTER HAD FIVE GROWING KIDS AND GRAND-KIDS. THE ADOPTING MOTHER WAS DISTRAUGHT BECAUSE HER OTHER THREE daughters WERE NOT THERE ENOUGH FOR HER. (This is a common drama in old mothers' lives)
THE TWO DAUGHTERS THAT WERE THERE FOR THE ADOPTING MOTHER ON A DAILY BASIS WAS ONE OF HER NATAL CHILDREN AND THIS ADOPTED DAUGHTER. THEY TOOK CARE OF HER AND HER HUSBAND, THE AGING FATHER OF THE FOUR DAUGHTERS.
SO SOME STORIES END VERY WELL WITH MORE FAMILY UNION NOT LESS.
NEITHER OF THE ELDERLY MOTHERS WERE SATISFIED WITH THEIR ADULT CHILDREN'S CARE. IT WAS NOT ENOUGH.
IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THAT MAYBE THE REAL WOMEN IN THIS STORY AND SAGA CAME TOGETHER AND MADE A BOND. MAYBE.
THIS FILM KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT.
THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS MATURE LIFE-SCOPING PRODUCTION.
*THE CUTEST KID ACTOR. HE SHOULD BECOME A STAR. BRAVO, BRAVO!!!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021Dev Patel did an excellent job in the Great Merigold Hotel and here he does another excellent job in a serious role. This is based on a true story. Patel is born in a poor Indian family, mother works as a laborer and his older brother works at odd jobs. He convinces his older brother that he can help lifting bales and they travel to a town where his brother leaves him to find work. His brother does not return and he gets on a train and gets locked in, the train has no passengers and after a couple of days ends up in Calcutta. He gets off the train but speaks a different language, and ends up sleeping with homeless children. He is befriended by a lady who brings in a male friend who doesn't have the his best interests at heart and he runs away. He tries to find articles to sell at the garbage dump and he is helped by a stranger where he eventually ends up at a home for lost children, it is very brutal there. A social worker assists him and he is adapted by an Australian couple, Nicole Kidman who is excellent in the role. 20 years later he has grown up and wants to work in the hospitality business. The couple also adapted another Indian boy who has severe mental difficulties. He meets and romances Rooney Mara. Patel tries to suppress his past but it reoccurs again as he hopes to find his mother and brother. He uses a google app and with it tries to find the location of his mother and brother. After many trials and tribulations he finds the location of his home and with the blessing of Kidman and her husband returns to India to find his mother. There is a very heartfelt and tearful reunion and he finds out that his brother was killed by a train shortly after his brother left him to find work. The movie won 6 academy award nominations including best picture. He finds out that his name was mispronounced and it means Lion. Bonus features include an interview with the real Saroo and also features the real adapted mother meeting Saroo's mother in India. An excellent moving film and highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2024A small boy gets separated from his older brother in India, he boards a train looking for his brother and ends up several 100 miles from his home. This is a true story that everyone should enjoy the outcome of 20 years in the present.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maravillosa!
Maravillosa película. La recomiendo 100%. Sensibilidad y ternura... muy emotiva más sabiendo que hay una historia real detrás. El DVD llegó al día siguiente de su compra.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very emotional film based on a true story.
Imagine yourself very young and suddenly without warning, you end up far away from home in a different place, you are scared, confused and you don't know where you are and to make matters worst, the people around you do not understand what you are saying and you end up adapted and send to a new family overseas. This is exactly what happened to Saroo, whose tragic yet extraordinary life that happened for real is described in this movie. Dev Patel, the movie star from Slumdog Millionaire plays as older Saroo with Nicole Kidman starring as her adoptive mother in Australia. A tale of mystery, drama and endurance as one person struggles to find out his past and uncovers it using a tool on the internet leading to a journey of self discovery and family love like no other. Interested? Then this movie on DVD is for you together with a catchy theme song provided by Sia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lion, der lange Weg nach Hause....
Obwohl ich zuerst die Bestellung storniert hatte, weil ich den Film schon auf dem USB-Stick hatte, wurde er mir trotzdem geschickt. Im nachhinein bin ich aber sehr froh, einen so schönen stimmungsvollen Spielfilm mit Original Cover gebraucht, in sehr gutem Zustand und zu einem sehr günstigen Preis erhalten zu haben. Außerdem ist der Film schon deutsch synchronisiert mit sehr guten Darstellern. Ein Film - Autobiographie - von 2016. Sehr empfehlenswerter Spielfilm auf DVD. J.G.
