Alien at the Movies

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

A 5-year-old Indian boy (Sunny Pawar) becomes separated from his older brother & ends up some 1,600 kilometers away in Calcutta. Alone & unable to speak the local language, he survives for months as just another one of tens of thousands of lost children in the overcrowded city. Eventually, adopted by an Australian couple (Nicole Kidman & David Wenham) & raised in Hobart, Tasmania. Twenty-five years later, the now young man (Dev Patel) is overcome with guilt for deserting his beloved mother & brother and is compelled to find his roots & family, but has no clue to where home is. Rooney Mara has a small part as the girlfriend. Based on a true story, this powerful, emotional, & inspiring story is a tribute to all those adoptive parents & children out there & will touch the hearts of mothers everywhere. The acting is superb & the plot takes us on an amazing journey. Photos & footage of the real life characters portrayed appear at the end of the film as well as the explanation of the movie's title.

Alien gives it 3½ "the power of Google Map" stars out of 4.
