Friday Movie Nights at Nimbin Bush Theatre present What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Lasse Hallström’s tender 1993 drama — a moving portrait of family, love, and the quiet struggles that shape us.
In the sleepy town of Endora, young Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) spends his days caring for his mentally challenged brother Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio) and their housebound mother. When a free-spirited traveller named Becky (Juliette Lewis) rolls into town, Gilbert begins to dream of a life beyond responsibility — but change never comes easy.
Filled with heartfelt performances, beautiful cinematography, and an unforgettable early role from DiCaprio, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape is a deeply human story about compassion, courage, and finding beauty in the ordinary.
