What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993): Gilbert has to care for his brother Arnie and his obese mother, which gets in the way when love walks into his life. (7.7)
Director: Lasse Hallström
Writers: Peter Hedges (novel), Peter Hedges (screenplay)
Stars: Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio and Juliette Lewis
A wonderful story about a family in a sleepy town. While nothing big happens in the town itself, the everyday trials and tribulations of the people are quite interesting. Gilbert tries to do right by all the people he is responsible for but can't make sense of it all. He takes the audience through his journey of discovery. The acting is superb, specially that of Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio. Good casting; even the minor roles are well thought-out. An all-around great movie that asks you to put yourself in the characters roles. My Rating: 7.5
