Summary: A really sad but uplifting movie
Review: Robin Williams is incredible- so is Robert DeNiro. This movie is sad to the point of tears, but it also shows amazing human drama. It is a lot like "Lorenzo's Oil" in the fact that it is hard to watch, but it is definitely worth it. Watching Williams play this research doctor with no people skills is almost funny, but he plays the role awesomely- you don't doubt it for a minute. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Summary: Touching authentic movie
Review: Robin Williams plays more or less the same role as in »Patch Adams«, only much less humoristic. Robert DeNiro is fantastic in the tragic role of the patient.This is another very touching movie about a group left behind. A group of people given a spark of hope, for a tiny moment in their lives. And it is a movie about the fantastic people devoting their lives to helping these helpless people. Very plain movie, without much extra this and that. Simply a story of one the cruel and darker side of this world's realities.

Summary: Superb
Review: Robin Williams turns in a lovely, quiet, understated performance which is extremely effective. De Niro, as usual, completely immerses himself in his character, and is truly heart-breaking to watch. The supporting cast and direction are excellent. If you're in the mood to be truly moved, this is the movie for you.

Summary: My absolute favorite film...you'll enjoy it, too!
Review: Robin Williams, Robert DeNiro, & Julie Kavner star in this film based on the book (Go get that next...it is wonderful, also!). Robin Williams is super as a doctor fighting the systems that exist in basic hospital red-tape. His character tries to show what is possible in health care if ideas are just given a chance! Please check this film and book out!

Summary: A movie all doctors should see!
Review: This is one of my favorite movies. It shows that beyond science, there is humanity. All doctors should show as much compassion as in "Awakenings"; where the quality of patient care becomes the primary goal of every physician. "Awakenings" is a movie that illustrates that there is hope in any undertaking; for catatonic patients who haven't moved in decades, to their attending doctor who wants to see them recover, to the many patients in our country who suffer from disease, and those who wish to treat them.
