Critic Reviews of "Awakenings"
The New RepublicAugust 15, 2014Williams 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.
QuickflixAugust 17, 2014a 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.
Common Sense MediaDecember 22, 2010Nonfunny Robin Williams role in moving story.
FulvueDrive-in.comJuly 05, 2007A beautifully moving, life-affirming true story.
EmanuelLevy.ComFebruary 01, 2007A potentially intriguing story, based on the actual experiences of Dr. Sacks, gets a characteristically middling, sentimental and uplifting from director Penny Marshall.
MovieholeMarch 10, 2005Tour-de-force performances and one memorable storyline
Nick's Flick PicksNovember 02, 2004I 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.
Shadows on the WallJune 05, 2004Moving and over-sentimental - but Marshall's best film.
Nitrate OnlineMay 23, 2004Solid medical drama. Williams is terrific in a straight role.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)August 14, 2003Utter goo.
Needcoffee.comMay 20, 2003Moving and well-acted.
