What's Eating Gilbert Grape

A young man in a small town carries heavy family responsibilities, caring for his housebound mother and younger brother while working at a local grocery store. His routine begins to change when a free-spirited traveler arrives, encouraging him to consider a life beyond duty and familiar surroundings.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy tender, character-driven dramas about family, responsibility, and finding purpose, especially films such as The Cider House Rules; Not for you if you prefer fast plots or understated emotion.
