189: Lion

b'We caught an early screening of Nicole Kidman\\u2019s latest Oscar bait. This movie has some good elements (the acting is excellent, and it\\u2019s not only Kidman who should be in contention), but is let down by un-engaging storytelling. It\\u2019s notable for its focus on the story of the adoptee rather than his parents, and doesn\\u2019t shy away from the more problematic aspects, but would have benefitted from a more dynamic structure.'
