N P "The Cake Eaters" is a cute lil' movie. It's essentially about coming into your own whether that's grief, living with your choices, finding your autonomy and mending relationships. The film focuses on a group of people that have their lives intertwined with each other and offer several designated storylines tackling regular life obstacles. What affected me the most was - Georgia's, a young disabled girl's, journey to standing up and finding herself amidst familial and societal pressures. Some soft moments relating to this storyline really got to me with its quiet resonance. Kudos to Mary Stuart Masterson's direction in her feature film debut, and the cast's relatable performances. There was a genuinity and authenticity that was imbued in this simple, chill ride of a small town life. It was honestly soothing and healing to watch, and anyone can get something out of it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review John A One of those films that feels a bit light on narrative but abundant in naturalistic performances and likable yet troubled characters that cross paths in attempts to cope with their problems Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Audience Member I remember watching this 14 years ago and liking it Kristen Stewart, Bruce Dern, and Jayce Bartok directed by Mary Stuart Masterson It works as an affecting tale of small town life focusing on small people Guy is a struggling artist living with his father meanwhile Georgia is a young teenage girl living with her mother who's very overprotective, after all shes got a condition that throws her off balance Both Guy and Georgia are in high school but completely sheltered from everyone else They fall in love but Guy isn't so sure he's ready A cute little indie flick short, sweet and to the point this is one of Kristen Stewart's finest performances The characters battle their own ghosts and come to grips with their own realities This shows that dysfunctional families can still be families no matter how much damage there is 1st time director Masterson shows plenty of character elements in people that we believe can be real at times it feels like real life and not just a film Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Audience Member super sweet, kristen was great. worth watching.
