Director: Lasse Hallström Release Date: December 17, 1993 One of my comfort films is What's Eating Gilbert Grape. This weekend was one of those weekends where I had to sit down and watch a "classic" movie. Gilbert Grape is trapped in his hometown taking care of his overweight mother and his disabled brother. Gilbert Grape shows real life and vulnerability because he puts his family first. Johnny Depp deserved an Oscar for his performance in my opinion. His acting skills made me sentimental throughout the movie. It's beautifully filmed, and I feel like the director wanted to portray something relatable for all. I want to note, what IS eating Gilbert Grape? I think it's the fact that he has to take care of his family and never leave. Is there a right answer to this question? Probably not. Anyways, I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to get comfortable and shed a tear.
