Review of Awakenings (1990) by Joyleen G — 13 Jun 2010
Interesting, moving movie. Good script and direction, though does drag in spells.
Excellent performance by Robert De Niro, in a difficult role. Robin Williams puts in a rare good dramatic performance (his only other good ones that I can think of are The Fisher King, Insomnia and One Hour Photo). Good support from Julie Kavner and Penelope Ann Miller.
