Lorenzo's Oil Reviews
The questions this movie raises about the medical establishment, drug testing and the clash between science and compassion cannot fail to evoke the battles raging over AIDS. Lorenzo's Oil is strong medicine indeed.

If any movie of recent years deserves to be called "inspirational"--a much-abused term that one hesitates to revive apart from exceptional circumstances--this one certainly does.

Exhausting, intelligent and undeniably moving.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 7, 2012
Sarandon ... convincingly conveys a fierceness and tenacity that is almost frightening. The character never lets up, and neither does the film.

The film comes over as a tour de force version of the disease-of-the-week 온라인카지노추천 movie: half scientific detective story, half domestic drama, replete with scenes of suffering.

This film has an appealingly brisk, unsentimental style and a rare ability to compress and convey detailed medical data.

Definitely a remarkable story, but as told by Miller it isn't really an uplifting one.

Don't go to it for a Hollywood happy ending. Go to it to learn what it can take to be alive.

It takes a heartbreaking story and pushes it to the limit, showing us the lengths of courage and imagination that people can summon when they must.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 1, 2000
There has never been a medical drama quite like Lorenzo's Oil. With indelible fervor, it captures the will - the need - to heal.
