Awakenings

“The human spirit is more powerful than any drug.”

Robin Williams is one of the few actors that can bring you so much joy in his comedic work and make you shed a tear with his dramatic work. Robert De Niro's performance isn't what you'd usually expect here, but damn, it was incredible.

A very unique & tragic story about a disease which uses lots of 80s-90s Hollywood sentimentality, though at times can betray the emotional weight of its own premise. The plot progresses at a weird rhythm but its ending scenes are in contrast done in a quite real…

AWESOME

A good movie with phenomenal acting from Robert Deniro. Definitely a one time watch though. I thought would be a lot more uplifting. It is pretty depressing and hard to watch at parts because of that. I recommend watching it but it might mess you up a little after you do. 8.4/10

This movie is definitely worth watching. Williams plays his usual mentor role with De Niro playing a patient.
