What's Eating Gilbert Grape

What's Eating Gilbert Grape

1993

Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) lives in a backwater Iowa town and is "man of the house" to his retarded brother, Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio, who's never been better), a couple of sisters and his dangerously overweight mother. Despite all the crushing responsibility, Gilbert perseveres. But will he ever be able to live his own life? Directed by Lasse Hallström.

Arnie knows a secret. His big brother Gilbert is the greatest person on the planet.
