Movie Review – Slumdog Millionaire (2008) – 5 Stars

I can honestly say that there wasn’t anything about this movie that I didn’t like. I thought the writing was great, the acting was outstanding, the visuals were extraordinary (certainly agreeing with what I’ve seen of India), and Danny Boyle’s directing tied it all in fantastically. The way the story is told suits the plot perfectly, and the adaptation from the novel has been pulled off flawlessly. The real highlights for me were the performances of the young actors and how amazingly foreign, yet entirely believable is the depiction of India. It is certainly a worthy Best Picture Oscar winner.
