Review of Lorenzo's Oil (1992) by Robert T — 23 Jun 2007

Extraordinary story with superb performances all-round. Based on a true story, this movie highlights the struggle of two parents who discover their son is afflicted with an apparently incurable wasting disease yet refused to accept conventional medical wisdom that no cure was available.

A wonderful and deeply moving film which will leave a lasting impression. If only Hollywood could produce more honest, intelligent and real films like this.
