Review of What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) by Gail F — 25 Sep 2010
I initially watched this for Johnny Depp and knew nothing of Leonardo DiCaprio. For years afterwards, I still thought the character played by Leonardo DiCaprio was an actor with a mental/physical disability and they were gifted at being able to act.
I was really blown away to find out that that was played by a non-challenged actor. The story line was pulling and gripping as it was but, the performance by Leonardo DiCaprio is one which truly shows the art of being an actor can truly be appreciated in his gifted role.
My admiration at his talent was much enjoyed and obviously taken.
