Many years have passed, and there is still no cure for ALD. That is the final judgment for this movie
all hype.
Hollywood gives a free pass to this type of crap that raises parents hopes but is false science. It's very easy for Hollywood to lambaste the medical community for ignoring an " orphan disease". In fact, there has been an enormous amount of work on ALD, but no definitive solutions. In fact, recently the family has withdrawn from their own charitable research organization.
It is a bad movie, but worse it exemplifies the popular bias against real science in favor of pseudo-science.
