Lorenzo's Oil

Rating:
Summary: Haunting and Poignant
Review: A beautiful film in which Nolte and Sarandon are at their acting best. Lorenzo's Oil is one of the few "based on facts" films that I have watched and felt was worth while in every way. This film is worth watching and I would recommend it to anyone who wants realism put on their screen. This is no sugar-sweet drama but a down-to-earth film about a family who prove that sometimes-ordinary people CAN move mountains. As a point of interest, the elderly English man in the film who manages to create Lorenzo's Oil is in fact playing himself. He is the actual Chemical Engineer who helped the real Adone's in the 1980s and this is a touching tribute to him, as well as to the Adone's tenacity and belief that they could help save their dying son's life. A big thumbs up for this film.

Summary: This movie touched my heart!
Review: As many I watched this movie in Biology class. At first I thought it was boring, but after I started to actually watch it I got really interested. I couldn't believe it! I liked it so much I went out and bought it! The story really touched me. If there's any current info about Lorenzo I would really like to be informed.

Summary: Uh....
Review: Do you have any idea when this movie will be released on DVD....? Personally, I rate this movie as 4 1/2 stars, for its strong character, good details and a very involving story. I will not describe this movie any further, for you can see it on someone else's review, or may be from the critics, because I'm sure they can write better than I do. But I just want to say, if you really love high quality drama and you missing this one, you already miss a lot.

Summary: Notice how lukey we are
Review: I really loved this movie, itr extreamly sad how the boy suffers. This movie is not just a movie, it is to tel us how lukey we are in good health. Imagine if you were him, how would you feel if you coindn't speack, see, hear, move, or breath very well. While we arwe sleeping in our soft conftrable beds there are people who are living in the streets, who are starving, who are freezing to death, who are looking in the garbage to fing something to eat. If you give a poor person just $1 he will get down on his knees for you. He would love you. But if you give a rich man 100,000 dollars, it woudn't matter to him!!!! So please wach this movie and realize how lukey you are

Summary: Touching
Review: I really think this movie is touching because it shows us how weak we are, sometimes. The Odones are very brave, all of them, from the parents to the kid. I hope the scientists can now be more flexible than they were with Mr. and Mrs. Odone. Congratulations to them!

Summary: My family has ALD
Review: I saw this movie but was hesitant. WHY????
...This film was not at all factual, the oils do NOT work, we tried them. My heart went out to the family and to Lorenzo, but to say he can move his index finger, where is the aulity of life I ask you?
My heart aches each day... and I am deeply angered by this movie.
