Lorenzo's Oil (1992)
8/10
Susan Sarandon does not disappoint
9 July 2005
Excellent drama based on the true story of Lorenzo, a kid with a rare but fatal disease. Nice acting performances by Susan Sarandon and Zack O'Malley Greenburg. Nick Nolte wasn't bad either, but I have to admit that, as a Nolte fan, a thought his performance was some what disappointing. His Italian accent made him look like an idiot. Maybe Nolte wasn't optimal casted here. Maybe it would have been better if they had chosen an actor with an Italian look which would had made the accent much more believable.

But in general "Lorenzo's Oil" was a nice picture with good performances. Maybe it's a little underrated as well on IMDb. I think it should at least deserve 7.2. I personally gave it an 8. Certainly worth watching!
