Review of What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) by Steven Rea for Philadelphia Inquirer — 28 Jun 1995
What's Eating Gilbert Grape is a tad too precious. One of those movies that wants to address life's quaint wackinesses, it's full of characters who are quirky, lonely, bizarre or retarded. There's something intensely earnest about the project.
But there's something equally manufactured, starting with the casting of Johnny Depp and Juliette Lewis.
