A well done movie with a display of excellent acting. We recommend to most viewers, but not for all.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Everything about this movie to me is fantastic. I've said in some of my older reviews regarding films that I like that I liked the movie because it was a movie about people. This is the…

I finally watched this film for the first time in 2022! It’s a wonderful film. With so much not very good television and movies out there (in my opinion), it’s so satisfying to find something first rate.

Such a good movie, watched this twice now. Young Leonardo is so fun to watch. Johnny Depp is brilliant is his portrayal of a loving son and brother.Great family loyalty! Great scenery and costume design.

One of the classics. Leonardo DiCaprio is amazing as a happy, energetic, mentally handicapped Arnie, making the movie into one of those laugh/cries due to the ironies of life.

I loved this movie. I can see why Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp are great actors now as they both acted fantastically in this film. They don't make movies like this anymore.

I've watched this movie at least three times now over the years. It's just as good on the last viewing as the very first. I look forward to watching again in another 5 or 10 years. Leonardo DiCaprio's acting is amazing. There are so…

My favorite Johnny movie. Possibly the most real character he ever played, close to someone that could have been him.

Gilbert Grape is a classic. Leonardo Decaprio's performance as the mentally handicapped brother is superb!! Johnny Depp comes to us in a totally different character. This is the story of a family facing hardships both internal and…
