The Awakening Audience Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Ben Dooley Just for any researcher trawling the web for infoabout this film I can tell you that it about or contains incest. I found this in an article on Americancensorship from October 1930, in the British film magazine Close Up. The critic was expressingbemusement at the fact that this film was allowed to be shown in America while the Soviet film Village of Sin was banned, based on the claim that 'it doesn't happen here'. The American critic's point was that American films get away with more than foreign films in the US because of the US fear of 'insidious foreign propaganda'.
