Emotionally harrowing film of a dedicated and persistent couples struggle to find help for their son when he falls victim to a terminal illness. Their single minded quest to find if not a solution at least something to relieve their child's suffering is inspiring.
Intensely real performance by Susan Sarandon and a strong one from Nick Nolte although his accent while accurate for the character makes it difficult to understand him occasionally. Beautifully true supporting performances from Peter Ustinov. Margo Martindale and others but it is hard to watch what Lorenzo has to go through.
A shattering experience at times but worthwhile.
