- Excerpt: I understand calling Patel “supporting” due to his receiving the same screen time as Pawar, but this is very much his film. But while we feel for five-year old Saroo’s plight exposing the dark alleys of Indian over-population, it’s twenty-year old Saroo that we understand with empathy as a lost soul with nowhere to turn.

- Excerpt: Though a clunky ride that includes stops that are far from scenic, Lion is an emotional rollercoaster, delivering exhilarating highs and dizzying lows, but with a conclusion that is sure to make hearts sing.
