Reviews:

I recently watched this movie again after many years, and was surprised how many details I had forgotten. It features a great ensemble cast who seem to mostly share a screen rapport. Leonardo DiCaprio previews his future star career with a stellar performance as the difficult Arnie.

I thought the scene where husband Mr. Carver comes home from work and obsesses over the burnt cookies and the unused swimming pool was silly and a bad fit for the film, especially consider what came after the scene. Meanwhile the two sisters were great characters: they were emotional when the situation called for it, but gave an even and restrained performance. I would have like to have seen more of them.

**A rather conventional and average family drama, where DiCaprio and Depp’s performances turn out to be the only truly worthy note.**

Sometimes, what makes a film remarkable is the extraordinary performance of an actor, and that becomes even more admirable when that actor is extremely young. That’s what we have in this film, a conventional family drama, where a young adult tries to live his life as normally as possible while having to take care of everyone around him, particularly his mother, who is morbidly obese and depressed, and his younger brother, who has a mental problem that the movie never really specifies.

In fact, I didn’t find the script particularly interesting. Cinema is full of family dramas, and this one has nothing really new or fresh to add. And if the script doesn’t seem remarkable to me, the production values ​​and technical aspects deserve even less attention, with the film betting on very conventional and average visuals, and a pace that sometimes slows down and falters, the result of an editing not always well executed.

What makes the film more interesting is the cast, which includes two young actors, then very promising, called Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio. Depp is older than DiCaprio, and his career was relatively established when he agreed to star in this film. DiCaprio, on the other hand, was still an unknown young man and was beginning to emerge. However, the collaboration between them, in this film, is remarkable, and it seems that both knew how to get the best out of each other, to our benefit.

Although today we know Depp through a wide range of peculiar characters, what he did in this film is the complete opposite, and his character is one hundred percent ordinary, responsible, mature and strong. DiCaprio, however, stands out the most, even more than Depp. Playing a mentally disturbed teenager, DiCaprio had a lot of leeway to study and design the character and his mannerisms and tics. The result is truly credible and surprising.

Mary Steenburgen and Darlene Cates provide very effective support and give us the best female performances. In absolute counterpoint, Juliette Lewis doesn’t have much to do, while Laura Harrington and Mary Kate Schellhardt practically disappear when they’re on the scene.

The family that binds us
Truly, this is one beautiful movie. It doesn’t go for cheap tears but in the end you must feel something, otherwise you simply don’t have a heart. It’s about a town, Endora, where nothing ever happens. In that town live the Grapes, a fatherless family that consists of a mother of elephant-like proportions, two sisters and two brothers (one of them being retarded).

All the acting ranks from very good to excellent. Johnny Depp is so lovable as Gilbert Grape, the twenty-year-old son who tries to do good for everyone but doesn’t know quite what he wants for himself yet. Leonardo DiCaprio is simply amazing as the retarded Arnie. He rightfully got an Oscar-nomination for his roll. At the time I saw this movie, I didn’t know him yet, so at some moments I actually thought that he really could be a retarded actor (that’s a big complement, isn’t it?).

The plot isn’t too spectacular, but keeps you interested ’cause actually a lot of things do happen to certain character’s in this sleepy town. A lot of things the characters say and do seem superficial, but actually aren’t meaningless as they lead to other events in the story. And the arrival of Becky (Juliette Lewis) and her mother make things interesting for Gilbert. The ending is unexpected, very solid and sad. And then there’s the little epilogue…

This simply is a great movie: Good story, good acting, good directing. And that’s all it takes. Watch it and allow yourselves to be moved by the Grapes.

Very well-done
I thought I wouldn’t like this. I decided to see it because I’m a fan of Johnny Depp who appeared in some of my favorite movies [ Edward Scissorhands, Benny and Joon, etc. ] I knew what the plot was: a guy who lives with his 15 year old sister, his 18 year old mentally disabled brother who could die at any time and his morbidly obese mother always has to do everything for his family and something happens that changes his life. It sounded like it was a typical sappy drama. I usually hate dramas like that. Movies in which the only point is to feel bad for the characters. But this one was quite different.

The plot in this movie is unclear, which makes it appealing in my opinion. There isn’t a lot of events in the movie, really. It all revolves around Arnie’s birthday and Gilbert’s meeting with the new girl. The movie is very slow paced and doesn’t rely on action and shock to catch his viewer’s attentions. It’s moving, but the dialogues are also very simple. You might expect this movie to be over-dramatic but it’s everything but that. The situation and story are extremely sad, but I never felt overwhelmed by this. Keep in mind that I can’t usually handle dramas very well.

The movie is about partly about Gilbert, but it also describes life in this town very well. Gilbert’s family often has a big impact on the other people in this town, so it’s natural that they would be the family that the movie is about. What’s also really nice is that Gilbert isn’t portrayed as a hero in this movie. He has flaws, and he can make mistakes even if he’s taking care of everyone. He is not the typical good-hearted young adult or teenager who’s taking care of everyone and wants to give everything for his family. He actually has feelings of his own and he is trying to find himself. The whole movie is about his quest to find who he really is, if he isn’t Gilbert Grape, the guy who’s always running after his brother Arnie.

Another good point about this movie is the way it was filmed. The visuals are great and the way the movie was made makes us feel like we’re seeing life in a different way than usual.
