Watching As A Chronically Ill & Disabled Teen

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

As a teen who suffers from many chronic illness' that keep me in a wheelchair, as soon as I read that this movie was about chronic illness, I instantly clicked on it. There were a few things that I found were pretty inaccurate or just like that I didn't agree with. Georgia clearly needed a wheelchair and I find that most kids/teens with chronic illness gladly welcome things into their life that will make things easier for them. I remember being stubborn about my wheelchair when my pain first got bad and it got to the point where now I can't walk more than a mile at a time max. I love Kristen Stewart so much and I miss her staring in movies so this really fueled my love for her today! I think that she did very well at portraying the issues that some of us have to face, like dying young and wanting to do things before that happens. I also think that this movie illustrates the love from an able bodied person to a disabled person to show that this does in fact happen. I most of the time feel like no one is ever going to fall in love with me and be with me purely because I am medically (&emotionally) high maintenance. It was really beautiful and exciting to see that kind of mixed bodied relationship in a movie like I never have before. Now I did say all these nice things, however I feel like the plot didn't really go anywhere and that it wasn't exciting enough to every watch it again. Would I recommend to everyone? no. Would I recommend to my disabled friends? Yes!!

The entire cast is great, Dern is a scene stealer

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

A basic plot is brought to life in this highly enjoyable, insightful movie by Masterson. Masterson allows the story to unfold, while allowing the actors to bring things to life. The entire cast is great, Dern is a scene stealer. That being said, there is no movie here without Stewart. Kristen gives an amazing performance, somewhat reminiscent of DiCaprio's performance in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Yes, both played characters that had their own personal and physical challenges, but I mean the sheer force, and talent of her performance here is amazing. She's an extremely skilled actress, that I only hope continues to push herself, so we can all enjoy her amazing beauty, screen presence and talent.

Heart-warming, heart wrenching

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is an emotional story about human love in a rural American setting. As such it will probably bring tears to your eyes. I know it did to mine. The script by Jayce Bartok and the direction by Mary Stuart Masterson are carefully composed to create a celebration of love that defies convention.

BEWARE SPOILERS

Georgia (Kristen Stewart) is a 15-year-old girl suffering from Friedreich's ataxia. When her to-be lover, cafeteria worker Beagle (Aaron Stanford), asks if she is going to get better, Georgia says, “No, this is pretty much as good as it's gonna get until my heart gives out.” She has invited him into her bedroom to help her with her homework. At one point she says, “You can kiss me if you want to.” Stewart plays the part with limbs all askew and dangling almost helplessly. Yet her face is so, so pretty and healthy looking that the contrast is striking. The next day they go to a motel. She is determined to experience love before she dies. The idea is so touching.

Also sure to pull your heart strings is the older and mostly secret love affair between Easy Kimbrough (Bruce Dern) and Marg Kaminski (Elizabeth Ashley). Bittersweet is Guy Kimbrough’s (Jayce Bartok) realization that his girlfriend Stephanie (Miriam Shor) has married and started a family in his absence.

All of this could easily go from pathos to bathos to the maudlin except for the careful direction by Masterson and the fine acting all around.

What I have been trying to figure out is why the movie is entitled “The Cake Eaters.” What came to mind was Marie Antoinette’s infamous, “Let them eat cake,” but I couldn’t see the connection.

Scattered plot, poor screen writing.

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2017

I like Stewart so that's why I watched this film. Was a bit disappointed in some of the script. Plot was simple, but slow. Took too long to figure out why the older brother came back to town. His part was okay, but didn't make much sense overall. He came back to find the woman he proposed to 3 years ago had a child and was married by looking thru her house windows like a stalker; even tho he had already spoken to her and kissed her at his house. I liked the Grandmother who at least showed she had life experiences under her belt. The mother part was scattered. If my daughter stayed out all night with cafeteria worker the police would have been called. Guess you can watch for yourself if you have some extra time on your hands.

Bruce Dern, who would have thought it?

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

First and foremost, the casting works and I mean really works. Bruce Dern as the grandfather pulls off the part with the gentle approach of the consummate professional. Somehow he holds together the family despite his flaws. Kristen Stewart manages to pull off a convincing Georgia so fragile yet refusing to stay within boundaries her family would set. Aaron Stanford plays the love interest looking to be both shy and uncertain yet again in the plot refuses to play a sunshine role as he was the primary caretaker of his dying mother.

Mary Stuart Masterson really needs to do more movies as she handles a bittersweet plot with aplomb. Set in upstate NY the background of just getting by resonates without anyone referring to it. Scenes linger exactly long enough to set the mood and no more. The plot remains as it should be, character driven.

The writing stands out giving the actors all that they need to work with. No one over acts and here both Stewart and Dern really excel. Nor does the plot sugarcoat anything. Georgia knows she is going to die and is determined to explore love while she can. She encourages and confronts Beagle until she achieves her goals of having an intimate and ongoing relationship with him. It is a recurring theme in the movie. Easy will not be the loyal spouse, Guy is forced to admit he has hit rock bottom and failed everyone around him. Georgia's mother has to face the fact that Georgia will not be controlled.

There is no such thing as a perfect movie, still Masterson comes very close.

Cake Eaters DVD

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 28, 2010

Verified Purchase

This sensitive film, Cake Eaters, the directorial debut of Mary Stuart Masterson, is a gently told story of disability and how it affects families and individuals. A young teenage girl with a degenrative disease, wants to experience all life has to offer and has the normal feelings and emotions of any teenage girl. This is the story of how she takes control of her awakening sexuality, and makes a stand for her own independence, and the effect it has on those around her.

There are many fine performances in this well crafted film but that of Kristin Stewart stands out, and she is truly remarkable. I cannot recommend this film highly enough, funny, sad, quite often disturbing and sometimes very hard to watch, yet it fills ones heart with hope and a real belief in how indomitable human spirit can be.

Seriously moving film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

This film surprised and amazed me, it is very moving and yes it did reduce me to tears in some places, probably some of the very best acting that I have ever seen particularly Kristen Stewart's portrayal of the disabled lead character.
I have never seen such a moving perfectly balanced depiction of a disabled person by an able bodied actor Kristen Stewart is definitely an actor worth watching in my opinion.
Well written, sensitively directed and superbly acted this film is definitely worth watching and is a fine addition to my permanent collection.

Cake Eaters

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 16, 2013

A quiet film yet one that grows into itself much like a good wine. Kristen Stewart clearly demonstrates that she can act. Her performance shows depth, sensitivity and thoughtfulness in her portrayal of a teenager with a wasting disease and her need to experience as much of life as possible. Stewart's representation is the strength of the film which may have lacked that effectual resonance if she had not brought her usual and professional earnestness to this pivotal role.

Good.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 17, 2011

Verified Purchase

This movie was okay but it wasn't really what I expected. If I'm honest I did get a little bit bored. One good thing however was Kristen Stewart's performance, It was very well done. As she is one of my favourite actresses there is nothing I like better than watching her have so many persona's.
If you like to know how to live when you are dying please watch. And anyone who has a love for living will like this film too.

Brilliant Film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed watching this film, yeah sure it isn't an A-list movie or even a B-list but it is brilliant for what it is. It has a great story line and an amazing cast, i wasn't sure about buying this because it had Kirsten Stewart in it and her acting in the Twilight saga was average at best but she really shined in this and i take back everything i said about her acting abillites. Great little film i would seriously recomend watching it.
