  An astounding delivery of what it means to be caring and what family means. A vivid portrayal of India and Australia. And the plight of children and poverty. It shows how family is close-knit and cares for one another even in extreme poverty and it shows the indomitable spirit that pushes us to search. It also shows the beauty of adopting parents who strive to make a difference in the world and in the lives of needy children. Altogether a gem of a movie. There are also striking scenes that show how Spirit is with us and communicates to us if we heed and pay attention. All actors are formidable including the lead Dev Patel. They also show the real people the characters are based on at the end of the movie. Some are very much alike , Nicole Kidman transforms herself remarkably and even the young Saroo looks like the actor child. A movie based on real events . At the end of the movie, it is poignantly stated how 800.000 children go missing per year in India. An epic movie worth very much going to see. Well made.

  I felt like breaking out in applause at the end, absolutely mesmerizing, grown men were crying it will pull at your heart strings, yet still leave you with such gratitude and love. I just wish it was was in wide release in all theaters. There's a lesson for everyone. Dev Patel and little Saroo are spectacular, Nicole Kidman wears your heart. An absolute MUST... if you don't get what you want from the this movie... watch it again.. you missed the message.
