Movie- LION

The true story of a life lost and found.

Nicole Kidman, Rooney Mara and Dev Patel star in this true story drama (based on the memoir by India-born Australian Saroo Brierly). 25 years after being lost on the streets of Calcutta and subsequently adopted by a loving family in Hobart, young Saroo sets out to find his birth family. He embarks on this needle-in-a-haystack quest with only a small store of memories, and the help of Google Maps.

NZ Herald 4 Stars “Lion may be an uplifting story of one man’s determination and hope, a story of compassion and the importance of being connected, but it’s one heck of a fraught ride getting there. Don’t think about stepping into the theatre without a good supply of tissues.”

Best Supporting Actor (Patel) and Adapted Screenplay, 2017 BAFTAs. Nominated for six 2017 OSCAR awards.

Directed by Garth Davis (TV’s ‘Top of the Lake’)
