thiago S @Thiagostone 6d Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Peter V @RT78913669 Jan 25 Though the first half of the film plays overly dramatically and self-consciously, as if director Penny Marshall is a herald for the 'human rights of these human beings,' which does them an injustice by treating them sentimentally--the phrase 'human beings' is overused at the beginning, with obvious connotations and intentions-- the film is still well-meaning and substantial, making the audience aware of human loss. In the final half, Leonard is brought more into focus, showing how he deals with neurological deterioration as the drugs wear thin. Robert De Niro is breathtaking as Leonard, and with Robin Williams, have convincing doctor-patient chemistry. They are supported by Julie Kavner as a conscientious nurse, Penelope Anne Miller as a visitor to the hospital who cares about Leonard, and Ruth Nelson as Leonard's protective mom. These actors deliver outstanding supporting performances. Overall, the film is an imperfect but a moving and humane drama about things that matter in life.
