Summary: First Do No Harm
Comment: Very good movie with well acted characters! A must see for anyone going throught this epileptic journey with a child as we are with our grandson! It is very informative on how abrupt it hits a child's life and how totally diabling it is. The step by step journey is so well documented while keeping the movie with a good storyline.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: 'First Do No Harm' is just OK
Comment: Lorenzo's Oil is a much better screenplay and compelling story.
I am surprised Meryl Streep agreed to do this film with such a weak screenplay. The story is significant, but the rendering is just OK.
Too bad there isn't a more compelling film that deals with epilepsy.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Healing is often in natural products
Comment: This story tells us that healing is often in natural products. Taking a lot of medicines is not always the way 'the cure'. Being aware of what we eat and drink. So I see this story not only for those who are sick. Going back to the basic (for example what we eat) can help a lot. A good story with a child acting so bravely.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Award-winning actress Meryl Streep (Best Actress, SOPHIE'S CHOICE, KRAMER VS. KRAMER, THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY) delivers a powerful and uplifting performance in this story of one family's strength and courage in a time of extreme crisis. Plunged into emotional and financial hardship, a devoted mother (Streep), a hardworking father (Fred Ward -- CHAIN REACTION, CORKY ROMANO) and the rest of this close-knit family face a decision that will change their lives forever. As time and options begin to run out, they must find the courage to overcome incredible odds. Widely praised by critics -- you'll find this compelling story of determination and hope both entertaining and inspirational!
