Review of Lorenzo's Oil

Lorenzo's Oil (1992)
10/10
An adventure, of sorts - and a very good film
27 June 2010
This true story is very interesting to watch. If you like adventure but don't normally go for medical films, you will like this.

Lorenzo's parents show great determination to investigate the disease and try to reduce its effects, with some success. When the film was made, Lorenzo had already outlived the doctors' predictions by four years. Although he died about two years ago, it is obvious that the effort was worth it.

The chemist who refined the rapeseed oil appeared as himself in this film. Peter Ustinov's performance as the doctor is also worthy of note.

See this film - you will find it sad at times but you will like it.
