"It's the movie that sucker punches me every time I see it! It's such a beautiful movie, but so incredibly tragic at the same time. I literally cried so hard I couldn't breathe the first time I saw it. I actually had to pause it because I couldn't even hear the movie over my own sobbing. One of Robin Williams' best performances of his career."
