" It tells the true story of British neurologist Oliver Sacks, fictionalized as American Malcolm Sayer (portrayed by Robin Williams), who, in 1969, discovered beneficial effects of the drug L-Dopa. He administered it to catatonic patients who survived the 1917–28 epidemic of encephalitis lethargica. Leonard Lowe (played by Robert De Niro) and the rest of the patients were awakened after decades of catatonia and have to deal with a new life in a new time"- wiki
A decent film that could have been a lot better but is still worth a watch. Robin Williams was great in the movie, it probably also helped that Robert De Niro was his supporting actor. Both of them played their parts well. The pace of the story was good as well but it felt like the film needed more heart.
2/5
