Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 26 Success in 1 hour and 35 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Some Language and Sexual Material Involving a Teen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more N P @NicSarge 12/09/2024 "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.
