Uppvaknanden

Awakenings

…ett starkt, gripande verklighetsbaseratdrama med engagerande karaktärer…

DeNiro, in diligent Oscar-scooping mode, is typically awesome, Robin Williams tolerable as the deeply human, yet bashful doctor, and many an opportunity is certainly offered for a hankie-soddening situation to develop in the darkness.

...this movie is not a tearjerker but an intelligent examination of a bizarre human condition...

Williams gives one of his winsome please like me, I'm working very hard performances that makes you want to cry with impatience and De Niro, as one of his wards, brings new meaning to the word mannered.

If you programmed a computer to come up with a movie that would win Oscars, the result might look something like Penny Marshall's Awakenings.
