Awakenings

"Sad but triumphant. See for yourself. Robin is the best. DeNiro does not disappoint. "

"The acting in this film is so superb. Robin Williams and Robert de Niro are incredible as the doctor and patient respectively. The actors become the characters they are playing. They each give such amazing performances that you are drawn into the entire movie. This movie broke my heart in the sense that It was based on the true story of real people who experienced their mental and physical health returning, but because of budget cutbacks they couldn't continue to progress and come back to full health. I have never thought of the health industry as a whole in the same way ever again because of this movie. It really did change my life."

"A film worth watching as a doctor tries a drug to help awaken those from a disease that has made the patients catatonic, what comes next is a journey of the soul and heart as the doctor and his first patient talk of life and love while others begin to awaken!"

"That movie blew me away the first time I saw it. Robin Williams best performance. "

"True very good and interesting "

"This movie was just straight up depressing but do I think I would of finished it if it wasn't for Robert deniro and Robin williams probably not? Also the use of oujia board killed me in this movie I have never seen it be used as a therapeutic tool 🤣"

"Such a good movie. Almost crying at a couple of the scenes 😭😓😞 based on a true story. I want to read and learn more about this. Not sure what's out there for reading material but I want to learn more. "

"I really enjoyed this movie"

"A devastating watch 😭"

"This movie still haunts me. 😢 "
