What's Eating Gilbert Grape is a simple story about a person caught in between who they are and who they want to become. Starring Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio, Gilbert Grape explores the circumstances that sometimes hold people in a state of limbo as they try to grow up (in Gilbert's case being the patriarch of his family at the age of 17). Watch our review below to see what we thought of this timeless drama 20 years after its release.
