One of the most bittersweet movies I've ever seen. Loved it.
Stellar performances by both leads, I cried a lot. I highly recommend Oliver Sacks' book that this is based on too.
based on true story. Robin Williams was an amazing actor ♡
Williams and De Niro's performances make a powerful, emotional movie out of a inspiring albeit tragic true story.
Proves that Robin Williams is not only amazing comedian, but also great in dramatic roles. And that De Niro is just amazing in general.
Film editing at times is spotty. But amazing acting by DeNiro! In a touching story proving despite any illness, we are still human beings.
Heartfelt. So many complex characters, it was amazing to see De Niro in this role. Williams was of course amazing. Depressing yet so joyous.
This movie is amazing and it gets you thinking about the things you take for granted in this life. 10/10
Williams and Deniro, based on a true story, learning what it is to really be alive… what’s not to like?
Seriously one of my favorite films. Why isn’t this film wildly popular???
