Lion's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
A sober and yet profoundly stirring contemplation of family, roots, identity and home, which engrosses throughout the course of its two-hour running time.
The Hollywood Reporter
Davis rigorously avoids turning real-life misfortune into Hollywood treacle.
The Guardian
From the outset, it?s a film that?s impossible not to find hugely involving.
Indiewire
'Lion', the first feature directed by Garth Davis, sufficiently realizes the emotional arc built into Brieley's experience.
Variety
Fortunately for Davis, he?s got a terrific cast, chief among them the pair of charismatic actors who split the lead role.
Cine Premiere
Emotive as well as dynamic and with a touch of humor, 'Lion' is an effectively manipulative tape (in a good way)
Vanity Fair
it?s altogether a robust and moving film (...) Eventually you just want the film to hurry up and get Saroo back to India.
