It’s not often that I come out of the cinema with a cheesy smile on my face but Slumdog Millionaire had me grinning like a Cheshire cat.
This is a rags-to-riches, road trip tale of two brothers from a Mumbai slum whose lives take very different paths. Jamal ends up on an iconic game show and is assumed to be cheating when the money starts stacking up. Danny Boyle delicately weaves the touching and intricate tale of his childhood into the narrative and this resolves any doubts about the improbability of a slum dweller knowing the answers. Superb.
