I remember this film, which I saw 13 years ago, as a squishy article redeemed by two strong performances; I am not inclined to go back for a second opinion.
Nick's Flick Picks
...Marshall has a gift for reticence...
Los Angeles Times
Williams gives his best "straight" performance, shorn of all his marvelous manic vaudeville. The man he plays here is not a performer, which he was even in Dead Poets Society, but simply a man.

A beautifully moving, life-affirming true story.

Rating: 4/5 --
Moving and over-sentimental - but Marshall's best film.
Shadows on the Wall
...De Niro's widely praised performance is like the rest of the film: competent, a product of hard work... -- 3 out of 4 stars

Rating: 4/5 --
a curiously-underloved film... Awakenings will get a re-evaluation in the wake of Williams' passing, and that's great. It's just a tragedy it took a tragedy to precipitate it.

Product Description:
Based on the true story of a research physician who uses an experimental drug to "awaken" the catatonic victims of a rare sleeping sickness. The first patient to receive the drug (De Niro in an astounding performance) is filled with awe and enthusiasm that teaches the introverted doctor to value life's simple pleasures. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Picture, Best Actor--Robert De Niro, Best (Adapted) Screenplay.
