Oscar needs to expand. <br /><br />I get what you're saying, and for a less compelling story, I'd agree with you completely. In this case, I think the story is strong enough that I don't notice the issues as much.

Sure, what 5 year-old Saroo endures is horrible, but the first part of Lion is a stark look at the life of street children in India rather than a cinematic drama.<br />The second half was a bit better, but as you said, straightforward and mono-tonal. A bit too much moping around for my liking.<br />Definitely agree with the idea for a child actor Oscar category. <br />aceblackblog.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08404695143187261837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-49170851238886342842017-06-13T23:18:00.418-05:002017-06-13T23:18:00.418-05:00It's very much worth the time.

Well acted, well filmed, and consistently interesting.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-77297253895325863802017-06-13T22:34:12.730-05:002017-06-13T22:34:12.730-05:00This one's definitely on my list.
