    Good Film

    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.

    Beautiful, intense drama

    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.

    A disappointment

    Supposedly set in India, ( and was ) so I expected exotic locations with lots of local colour, but this was much more about the couples being estranged rather than getting on with the search for their missing daughter. Written by a woman so it had the usual female slant, (nothing wrong with that providing it is well done ) I think this would appeal more to a female audience.
