It's impossible to remain indifferent to this family's sufferings .Susan Sarandon and Nick Nolte -in spite of his fake Italian accent- give superlative performances.That moment when Nolte is crying in his stairs is one of the most harrowing desperate scene I have ever seen.
What's really extraordinary is that we do not always side with the parents.Sometimes ,we think they are monsters to carry on a pointless fight.Sometimes we think that maybe the nurse who reads the fairy tale as if she were reading grocery's lists might be right.
Two people who did not know anything about biology (aside from what we learn in high school)and who become capable of arguing against leading medical experts after studying books night after night deserve our undivided attention.
"Laurenzo" is not an easy movie to watch;it's not what you would call "entertaining".For this family,the famous sentence " life is a daily struggle" takes on a terrible meaning.
