Two incredible actors as our leads in this movie that seems to be pretty unheard of? Sign me up. Thank you so much to the requestor on Reactr who asked me to watch this! I'll be editing it for YouTube, but not in the near future. 2025, for sure! [Direct link here.]

I'm really looking forward to your thoughts! Thanks so much for watching with me.

Actually saw this in theaters...because I'm fucking old. I was 13, and a huge Robin Williams fan, and honestly had no idea who Robert DeNiro was. Or, at least I had no idea who he was by name alone. One of my older brothers used to work for a VHS movie manufacturer (because I'm fucking old), and I used to see a bunch of old movies (and often Rated R movies) for free, and was becoming quite the little movie buff/snob. I had seen Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, and Raging Bull, and I'm not sure I had put it together that it was the same guy giving all of these fantastic performances. But something about this movie made it click. Still love me some Robin Williams...but Robert DeNiro is up there for me with the likes of Robert Duvall, Gene Hackman, Sigourney Weaver, Morgan Freeman, Kate Winslet, Donald Sutherland--just on another level.

Whoever requested this film, thank you so much! I'm looking forward to re-watching this blast from the past!.

A great film. I watched this a few years back as part of my Robin Williams fill in some of the blanks exercise. I hadn't felt able to revist his work for a number of years after his passing. I'm not often as moved by the loss of well known people in the arts or other such strangers we asign public ownership or affection for. Robin's passing hit like no other. I still remember how I commemorated my feelings at the time. RIP Robin. The man who taught me how to laugh.

This is one of the great movies....I'm so glad you got to see this. This is definitely on the top of my, "OMG, you have to see this movie" list

Thanks so much for giving me a reason to experience this wonderful film again. It's been some time since I last saw it, and I'd forgotten what a slow burn it is at first, but boy does sticking with it pay off. I'm not generally a fan of De Niro, but he gives a hell of a performance here, and the waterworks were going non-stop from the moment he gives Robin Williams that sweet smile when he first whispers "I'm not asleep". 😭 There are so many future stars here at the early stages of their careers (like Bradley Whitford), and even a few older stars from the golden era (like Dexter Gordon). The woman who played Nurse Eleanor would go on to voice Marge Simpson for going on 35 years now, and you've of course seen the woman who played Nurse Margaret as The Oracle in the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies. And then there's Alice Drummond, who you've already herd me gush about. Anyway, thank you so much once again.

Thank you for request and thanks for the reaction. I remember seeing the trailer for it when I was younger but I wasn't interested anything that year. This one touched me now and gave me a little encouragement to do the things I have been isolating from.... I think I'll take a walk. Thank you Dr. Sayer. Thank you Mr. De Niro and thank you Mr. Williams (we miss you).
