Quite wonderful character study, great acting turns by Depp and DiCaprio, among others.

**********************************

There is not much plot to speak of, but the film instead presents a moody, elegiac atmosphere of longing and desperation that is powerfully tangible ....

**********************************

Hallstrom finds the right bittersweet tone for his dysfunctional family tale (and one of Hollywood's few films about obesity), marvelously acted by Johnny Depp and particularly Leonardo DiCaprio.

**********************************

Depp's sincere, subtle performance is certainly a big reason for the movie's success...

**********************************

Fine performances by all, with Leonardo DiCaprio a stand out.

**********************************

One of the best dramas ever. In a small town where nothing happens, every scene is an event as Gilbert deals with life.

**********************************

Small-town drama has big moments thanks to Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis and a superb Leonardo DiCaprio.
