Slumdog Millionaire - 10 stars out of 10

Slumdog Millionaire - 10 stars out of 10

This movie certainly didn't disappoint and after seeing all 5 nominees, this definitely deserved to win the Oscar for Best Picture. In this completely unique plot, it overlaps Patel's attempt to win Who Wants To Be A Millionaire with the epic story of his life as a child and search for love. One of the most impressive parts of this story is the amount of screen time consumed by child actors and the fact that, as time passes in the movie and each character is taken on by an older child, the personality and mannerisms for each character stays consistent. Though it did not receive any best actor Oscar nominations, the acting in this movie is quite realistic and truly chilling at times. Your heart will break over and over again as you feel that you are there, experiencing the hardships with these characters. Slumdog Millionaire is a must-see.
