perhaps the most melodramatic movie ever
March 26, 2009
Sarandon ... convincingly conveys a fierceness and tenacity that is almost frightening. The character never lets up, and neither does the film.

It takes time to get over Nick Nolte's "wrong" accent, but Susan Sarandon gives a marvelous performance in the George Miller-directed, fact-based drama about a family torn by the degenerative disease of their young boy. Tough but rewarding film to watch

Don't go to it for a Hollywood happy ending. Go to it to learn what it can take to be alive.

[Sarandon gives] a brave, complex performance, and the centerpiece of an emotionally searing film.
August 30, 2016
Intense film about a boy's fatal illness has heavy themes.
October 07, 2012
If any movie of recent years deserves to be called "inspirational"--a much-abused term that one hesitates to revive apart from exceptional circumstances--this one certainly does.

This film has an appealingly brisk, unsentimental style and a rare ability to compress and convey detailed medical data.
October 07, 2012
Exhausting, intelligent and undeniably moving.
February 09, 2006
The film comes over as a tour de force version of the disease-of-the-week TV movie: half scientific detective story, half domestic drama, replete with scenes of suffering.

Lumbers along worthily.
January 01, 2000
It takes a heartbreaking story and pushes it to the limit, showing us the lengths of courage and imagination that people can summon when they must.
