  "I had a vision."
  Usually this line foreshadows absolute cheese; a gateway to mediocre writing. But, and very indicative of this film, this was not the case with Lion. From the start, the life of little Saroo, surprises you. The director beautifully captures the child's sad journey, and once older, Dev Patel brings that to adult form. Terribly endearing and believable is Nicole Kidman as a woman wanting adopted "brown boys" (her own words, 👎). But still she was incredibly…
