Very disappointing...
Memorable, crazy movie
hyped garbage
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Hot on the heels of Lion comes another needle-in-a-haystack mystery set in India. Beyond the Known World will no doubt garner many comparisons to Lion; it is set predominantly in India, concerns the search of a missing family member, and has a contingent of Australasian cast members - one of whom is David Wenham (who also starred in Lion). However, despite these similarities the film is quite different in many respects ... and it will cost you a lot less in tissues.
Beautifully shot in India, this is an intense experience that kept me engaged from start to finish. Especially as a parent of grown kids I could empathise with the lead roles. The emotional tension is sustained throughout without ever going over the top. The stunning scenery and excellent cinematography are a nice bonus. Recommended.
