Collating Information

Researching this film was, to say the least, frustrating. The only information I found available, existed online and was subject to some very temperamental servers. This made finding out simple facts an almost impossible task, and the reason as to exactly why this film has such a mediocre following is yet to be seen. There was no shortage of people eager to review Lorenzo's Oil, but very little enthusiasm for actually writing on the film interpretatively. And indeed, the information to be found about its brilliant director was minimal also.
