I’m sorry but I’ve heard that Garth Davis‘s Lion (Weinstein, 11.25) may be a little too cloying for judgmental types like myself. Which doesn’t mean that it’s not a half-decent film or that others might not find it nutritional. True-life saga of an Indian dude, Saroo Brierley, adopted by Aussies after being lost to his family at age five, reconnects with his parents at age 25 via Google Earth. Screenplay by Luke Davies, based on Brierley’s book “A Long Way Home.” Costarring Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman, Rooney Mara, David Wenham, Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
