"The Cure" is by far, the only movie to even make me come close to crying. I almost couldn't hold it in. The film is surprisingly realistic. I also liked how the movie didn't do like others and only use the parents as a device to push the plot forward; they were actually involved somehow and Anabella Sciorra gave a tragically tear-jerking performance at the end. It was realistic and genuine. The film also succeeded in creating a heartwarming bond between the two boys. I found myself caring about them as well as the other characters. I also liked how the boys tried everything, including drinking plants, to cure the disease.
