❝But I promised... I promised him his world would never be silent, he would never be alone.❞

The fact that this is based on a true story makes me simultaneously marvel at medicine and scoff at the regulations that doctors are forced to work within. Lorenzo's Oil is a heartbreaking testament to the sheer willpower of parents who would do anything for their son, and their unconditional love for him and each other. Of course, it's difficult to know if every decision one makes is correct, or whether it'll pay off, but that's part and parcel of situations like this. Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon deliver truly amazing performances, to the point where I found it difficult to watch at times. The pacing of the plot was a little slow, which made the roughly two hour run-time feel longer, but on the whole a very interesting film.

Susan Sarandon is one of the best mothers in cinema history. 

A movie with an amazing cast about a serious neurological disease, adrenoleukodystrophy. And it was shown so accurately. The movie also repeats the phrase several times about how much has not yet been studied in the world of neurology. And unfortunately, it’s so true
It was both so sad and wonderful , now it’s one of my favorites.

ignorância e arrogância. pessoas se submetendo ao sistema. a importância do conhecimento e comunicação. A “loucura” de uma mãe motivada a ajudar seu filho. . . “no one understands me”. . . revolução e revoltas.

This might be the craziest movie from George Miller's filmography, not because it is wacky, but because it's so normal. This is a classic drama film about a subject I never knew of. Susan Sarandon gave a wonderfully tragic performance, although I haven't seen too many movies with her, I feel comfortable saying it's among her best. This movie is moving in its subject and bravery. George Miller, known for having quite the eclectic filmography even early on, he chose to do what can be described as Oscar-bait, but he did it so masterfully, even if the science community feel it falsified the actual effectiveness of the oil.

Nick Nolte was also very good, but that accent felt a bit silly at times. Apparently Utsinov's portrayal of Nikolais was bad? Eh, the character was still good.
