Subscribe FreeThe Cure is a moving film about the friendship of two boys over the course of one summer. Tragically, one of the boys is dying of AIDS and the two become comrades despite the adamant protests of the other’s mother. Harassed by practically everyone, 11-year-old Dexter (Joseph Mazzello) finds support and solace in the company of Erik (Brad Renfro). When the pair read of a “miracle cure” in a tabloid it sends them on an adventurous quest, reminiscent of Huckleberry Finn, down the Mississippi River, only to be sidetracked when Dexter’s condition worsens. Outstanding performances by the two boys increases the impact of an already powerful and touching story.
