Lion (2016)

The true story of a young Indian boy who gets separated from his older brother, falls asleep on a train, and winds up far away from his home. He manages to survive for weeks on his own, despite not speaking the language and a terrifyingly close call with a child trafficker. Even when he finds help, he's just too young to be able to provide the information needed to get him back home.

The first half is stirring in all the right ways: it takes away your faith in humanity but then restores it with both hands. Though it gets a little slow in the middle (turns turns out scrolling around google earth just isn’t that interesting on film), the movie's well worth the watch.

B+
