Review of What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) by Jingbo W — 21 Jul 2012
It's tragic in how mundane it is. Similar to Winter's Bone, which I also watched recently, What's Eating Gilbert Grape gives access to a nowhere family in a nowhere place. Is there anything more tragic than a depressed young man who doesn't even have a frame of reference to desire something different?
