Lion, “a sober and yet profoundly stirring contemplation of family, roots, identity, and home” (Hollywood Reporter), is this season’s most heart-warming drama. It’s the stunning true story of a young Indian boy, Saroo Brierley, who gets lost hundreds of miles from his small-town home, and what it means for him to find his way back. The all-star cast (Dev Patel, Rooney Mara, Nicole Kidman, David Wenham) shines, while Sunny Pawar, who plays the young Saroo, nearly steals the show in one of the most incredible performances by a child you’ll ever see. This is certain to be one of the most beloved films of the season.
