I googled possibilities for movies to watch (as I'm not a big movie person) and this one was among the top choices. I rented it via desertcart and it was a very good movie. Based on a true story with several touching moments (including the ending credits) that's very inspiring to anyone who watches it. It does feel drawn out at times, but I think it is necessary for the view to understand all the terminology and medical terms and pictures that are played out through the movie. There are some scenes that could be deemed a little disturbing for children, so I be on your best judgement for viewing.

(PG-13) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rare, fascinating and heart-rending tale about parenthood and medical research *by E***N on November 26, 2012* George Miller is an Australian physician who took advantage of his medical background to create this one-of-a-kind movie. We are taken behind the headlines of medical research to see some of its inner workings in a true story about a rare and deadly disease, Adrenal Leukodystrophy. Sir Peter Ustinov plays the role of one of the leading researcher in the study of this disease, the basis of which scientists were just beginning to unravel Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon play role of the parents of a boy, Lorenzo, who has the disease. They are not passive regarding his illness but decidedly proactive to the point of sponsoring a meeting to helping the scientists work together to find a cure. At that meeting scientists discuss their findings and Lorenzo's parents realize that one of them, working in cell culture, has discovered a potentially curative oil. Shrugging off the warnings by the scientists that it would be difficult if not impossible to produce this oil and to use it in their son, they call around the world until they find someone capable and willing to purify enough to try the new treatment in Lorenzo. The rest of the movie is the unfolding of the triumph and tragedy of the disease in Lorenzo and other affected children. This movie is unusual, not only in its focus on medical research, but also in the fact that director Miller cast all of the scientists in the movie with actual scientists, except Ustinov only. Also of interest is the fact that the chemist who purified the first batch of Lorenzo’s oil, is played by himself. This is not a light-hearted feel-good movie, but a deep and moving portrayal of the real-life struggle of two parents to fight in cooperation with, and at times against, the medical research establishment in an effort to save their son. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1993526-lorenzos-oil-dvd](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1993526-lorenzos-oil-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
