Saroo, even at his age, realizes that he is being set up as a sex slave, he runs for his life and winds up in an orphanage the likes of which you would not see in the U.S. or Western Europe but only in a country as poor as India.\u00a0 Given his lack of knowledge of even the name of his village, he is lost.<\/p>\n<p>Luck is with him because a rich couple, Sue Brierley (Nicole Kidman) and her husband John Brierley (David Wenham), living in the Australian island of Tasmania, adopt him, and have him flown to wealth that he could not have known existed.\u00a0 Twenty-five years later, Saroo (Dev Patel), sporting the name Saroo Brierley, starts a course in hotel management, meets Lucy (Rooney Mara), and falls in love.<\/p>\n<p>With a quarter century of fitting in nicely, speaking fluent English (OK it\u2019s Australian English), he longs to return to his mum, fears that she has suffered in looking for him all this time, and spends weeks, maybe months with Google Earth to pinpoint his town by landmarks rather than names.\u00a0 He may have once thought that he would never use math, but he works out with huge wall maps, calculating the speed of the train on which he got stuck, the linking to the number of hours the journey took, thereby locating the home village whose name he did not possess.<\/p>\n<p>Some who have seen this movie report that it\u2019s a ten-hanky affair, one which, if successful in capturing full audience attention, will lead people in the theater to cry with joy at the reunion.\u00a0 This emotion is furthered by our knowledge that the story is true, a coup for director Davis who has won prizes for his commercials, including the Golden Lion award at Cannes. The film must be a labor of love for Nicole Kidman since the forty-nine year old Australian actress has two adopted children of her own.\u00a0 (Her character states that she and her husband agreed not to have kids of their own because they wanted to save others who needed parents rather than adding two of their own to the world.)<\/p>\n<p>Filming is stunning.\u00a0 Scenes of Calcutta feature wall-to-wall people in that poverty-stricken province, and Hobart in Tasmania is gorgeous.\u00a0 What a product placement for the Australian Tourist Commission!\u00a0 If you find yourself crying by the emotional reunion of Saroo with his mother and the entire village, you got your money\u2019s worth.\u00a0 If you\u2019re dry-eyed, that\u2019s OK since Sunny Pawar as you\u2019ll enjoy watching young Saroo make a terrific introduction to an acting career.\u00a0 He will be seen next year in a smaller role in \u201cLove Sonia,\u201d about the world of international sex trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>The paperback book by none other than Saroo, \u201cA Long Way Home,\u201d is available from Amazon at $9.75.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated.\u00a0 120 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey
