A dignified, authentic yet highly-moving crowd-pleaser
Fionnuala Halligan, Screen Daily
A sober and yet profoundly stirring contemplation of family, roots, identity and home
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
I've been singing the praises of Australian director Garth Davis ever since he collaborated with the great Jane Campion on her fabulous TV series Top of the Lake. So there was little doubting that his new film Lion would make my LFF 2016 watchlist. The film has just claimed the first runner-up spot in the People's Choice awards at TIFF and, with The Weinstein Company behind it, this true-story drama looks headed for potential awards glory later this year and into 2017. Dev Patel, Rooney Mara and Nicole Kidman star. Released in North America on the 25th of November.
