A gripping tale of life...

Becky: I love the sky. It's so limitless. Gilbert: It is big. It's very big. Becky: Big doesn't even sum it up, right? That word big is so small. Gilbert has care for his brother Arnie and his obese mother, which gets in the way when love walks into his life. Johnny Depp: Gilbert Grape Leonardo DiCaprio first caught our attention as mentally retarded Arnie Grape, cared for by his brother Gilbert in Endora, Iowa.

"You don't hurt Arnie, you just don't." What's Eating Gilbert Grape is an amazing movie. The performances are absolutely sublime, the script is fantastic, the score is remarkable...and the overall result is near perfect.

A small family of campers are stranded in the town, and a young teenager named Becky (Lewis) takes an interest in Gilbert. The whole film is an emotional journey that is told exceptionally. Although the film seems to go no-where at times, each scene is carried by flawless performances from everyone. Depp is just brilliant....Read more
