Filter by Rating: 9/10. A great film. Peach-2 16 November 1998. Penny Marshall's Awakenings is a very emotional movie and heartwarming to say the least. Marshall has out done herself with this picture. The movie is a masterpiece. Robin Williams is great and Robert De Niro should have won the Oscar for his performance in this movie.
I watched Awakenings (1990) '90s. I went into this expecting a feel good movie and I can honestly say it’s the most gut wrenching and depressing thing I have ever watched. I know the movie tries to end itself on an optimistic note, but even Robin William’s character asserts that we must “face the realities of miracles”.
