A Memorable film - What's Eating Gilbert Grape? review by PM
I watched it not long after it's first release and again more recently, and it has lost none of it's atmosphere. It's a kind of polar opposite to Kerouac's on the road, telling the story of a family marooned in a small town. It is a simple enough story, but told with extraordinary sensitivity and which gets you involved incrementally until you are completely absorbed. Classic movie making IMHO.
