Oscar winning drama starring Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio. Gilbert Grape feels trapped - with no father present and an eccentric family to care for, he is struggling to cope. His extremely overweight mother cannot leave the house and his younger brother with learning difficulties Arnie has a knack for finding trouble. As much as Gilbert adores Arnie and shares a unique fatherly bond, he can be difficult to care for.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape is a heartfelt story about life in a small American town, with all its kindness, big hearts, and familial love. Despite the hardships Gilbert perseveres, but will he ever be able to live his own life?
