One-Two Punch: "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" & "Benny & Joon"
Get KO’d by this last-Saturday-of-the-month, double-feature film series that features films with a unique connection to one another.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape? & Benny and Joon
Both films are delicate portraits of families balancing tenderness and frustration in the face of ill siblings. Through the acceptance of life’s conditions, the characters achieve self-awareness and, ultimately, find love. Besides, who couldn’t use a double dose of brooding Johnny Depp this close to the holidays? What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? (1993, dir. Lasse Hallstrom, 117 mins, PG-13); Benny & Joon (1993, dir. Jeremiah Chechik, 98 mins, PG)
