Un très beau film, que je ne suis toujours pas prêt d’oublier.
Acting de zinzin
Il est touchant mais long et légèrement ennuyant
pas fini
"Awakenings" Le film est tiré d'une histoire vraie, ça le rend plus émouvant. Je le trouvais un peu sans intérêt jusqu'à voir la redescente de Leonard, c'était super triste comme passage et ça m'a fait énormément de peine, surtout qu'il était tombé amoureux.
Film plein d’espoir et de désespoir à la fois, on monte aussi vite qu’on ne redescend, bizzare de voir de Niro dans un rôle comme celui ci mais c’est réussi. Le film est compréhensible et je n’ai rien à dire de plus dessus lol
