Capsule review
Ang Lee directs this adaptation of the
much-loved novel by Yann Martel, in which a boy
named Pi (Suraj Sharma) finds himself sharing a
lifeboat on the ocean with a Bengal tiger. He spends
much of the ride learning lessons of his inner
strength and hoping that the tiger doesn’t get so
hungry that a slice of Pi starts looking tasty. Opens
