    5.0 out of 5 stars Bruce Dern, who would have thought it?
    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2015

    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable Performance
    Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2009

    I've been a Kristin Stewart fan since I saw "Speak". I had hoped her
    professional career would blossom. And due to a kind of "small scale" movie called "Twilight", and it's many sequels....my hopes have, indeed, been realized.
    This film, however, should most certainly NOT be overlooked! The story line is very interesting, though "dysfunctional", and the acting from nearly everyone is outstanding. But the real Kudo's go to Kristen, in her
    portrayal of a high school girl afficted with a neurological disorder called " Frederich's Attaxia", which is somewhat similar to Muscular
    Dystrophy, but with it's own peculiar quirks. Just as "proof" of her performance, after I had already seen the film, I invited a couple over to watch it with me later, and told them that Ms. Stewart was an actress who really
    "had" this disease, and how well she did in the movie. ( They'd never seen her in anything else, of course). They said they were amazed at how well she did, given her disability. After it was over, I told them it was
    all "acting", and that she was perfectly normal. Just listen to the Kudo's
    her co-actors gave her, in the "Special Features" portion of the DVD.
    Also....don't miss the film "Into the Wild", in which she gives a short, but poignant
    performance....PLUS the movie is VERY good, to say the least.
    Oh....just in case you didn't guess....I'm a member of the Kristen
    Stewart Fan Club!!

    Enjoy your movie watching, everyone !

    1.0 out of 5 stars Where was the cake and who was eating it?
    Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2016

    I cannot recommend this movie.

    I don't understand the title of this movie. No one in the entire movie ever ate any cake. We never even saw any cake.

    The title does not make sense, and the Amazon description is false.

    Kristen Stewart looked beautiful with long hair (of course, a wig), and when her character of Georgia cut her hair super-short, it looked terrible.

    This movie was boring and slow. The movie was all over the place. There was the main plot, about Georgia. There were a few very small sub-plots. This didn't even feel like even a TV movie, it felt like a play-on-film. The ending was abrupt, leaving the feeling of, "That's all? That's the end?"

    S P O I L E R S……

    The Amazon description is not correct - - this is absolutely not a story of first love, or falling in love, or a "celebration" of love. It is a story of an ill and disabled 15 year old who wants to lose her virginity because she is afraid that she will die before she gets the chance. She throws herself at the first "boy" - - a 20-something loser named Beagle - - who looks at her. She asks him to come to her house within a few minutes of meeting him, and he actually asks why. She asks him up to her bedroom to "study" and within a few minutes, she grabs him and kisses him, and they make out on her bed until her mother yells from downstairs that it is getting late. She makes a plan with him for a "date" the next day. He picks her up for their "date" on his motorcycle, and when he asks her where they are going, she tells him to take her to a motel. They check into the motel, and she immediately starts undressing and tells him to take a shower. She comments on how he obviously never works out, and it is clear that she is disappointed with his looks and is not attracted to him. He asks her if, instead of sex, they can just watch TV and talk, and she says no and says that she will just leave the motel if he won't have sex with her. So, he walks out, leaving her alone in the motel, and then he shortly returns, and they just have sex. They fall asleep. They wake up in the morning, and they get on his motorcycle, and he takes her to school. There is no goodbye kiss. Would anyone call this love?????

    There is a sub-plot about Georgia's grandmother and Beagle's father (whose wife recently died), who have been having a secret affair for many years, and he asks her to marry him (without any ring), and she never answers.

    There is a sub-plot about Beagle's brother, who is a failing musician, who has been gone and out-of-touch from everyone for three years, and shows up out of nowhere to find out that his mother has died and he didn't even know. He goes to see his girlfriend whom he has had no contact with for those three years, whom he had proposed to just before he left town and then left her without even saying goodbye, and she is shown with a little girl whom we can assume is his child which he never knew about.

    There are sub-plots about the butcher business where a cow is slaughtered, and Georgia's mother's art business.

    My reviews usually don't summarize a movie, but there is nothing else to say because nothing else happens and there is nothing else to talk about. The actors did a very good job with what they had to work with. I did not see any comedy here… there was some drama, but nothing to tear up over... and a lot of unhappy characters without hope who seemed to be just surviving rather than living their lives.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Kristen Steward mit Galavorstellung aber auch der Restliche Cast ist sehr gut
    Reviewed in Germany on July 26, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Ich habe den Film nur wegen Kristen Steward angesehen weil ich normalerweisse keine Dramen mag, weil ich eher der tüp mensch bin der die Harte ganghart mag also Action Horror Thriller und sowas halt. Deshalb war ich sehr Überrascht das mir der Film nur gut fand, sondern das er mich so bewegt hat das er sich zu einem mein Faforites zällen darf. Zum einen ist da die Berürende Geschichte der 15 Järhigen Georgia die an Friedreich Ataxie Leidet einer Neuro Muskulären Störung die bei ihr schon zu Bewegungs und Sprachstörungen führt die sich nach und nach verschlimmern werden und die Früher oder Später dazu füren wird das ihr Herz Versagen wird. Und um den 20 Järigen Beagle der der bei seinem Vater Lebt und seinem Bruder einem Gescheitertem Musiker der zurückert nach dem ihre Mutter gestorben ist. Und um die begegnund der beiden die nach und nach zu Liebe wird. Die Story lässt sich zeit und nimmt nur Lagsam etwas fahrt auf aber das ist auch gut so. Denn es wird viel wert auf tiefgang und stimmigkeit gelegt, jedem Charackter wird die zeit gegeben sich zu entfalten. Neben der sehr Bewegenden Story ist es aber die Grandiose Cast die alle Ihre figur die Nötige tiefe vereihen konnte. Die Musik ist ebenfals sehr gut und verpsst jeder situation den tichtigen Toutch. Aber das beste ist die Megastarke Kristen Steward die es schafft Goergia so viel Herz und Stärke zu verleien die ich in ihrer situation wahrscheinlich nicht aufbringen würde, Aber noch beindruckender ist wie sie es schafft die Krankheit so Echt und Real wirken zu lassen als wurde sie wirklich daran Leiden. Wer auf der suche nach einem Sehr Guten film ist und solche Seichten aber Tiefgründigen Dramen mag wird ein Hinnreissenden Film sehen.

    I expected a lot more from the movie having seen the trailers...it just wasn't there and left a person waiting for the punchline.

    Good to see Bruce Dern in this movie, other than that...I can't even recommend renting this one.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 28, 2010

    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.

    Ich bin über Kirsten Stewart auf diesen Film aufmerksam geworden, da mich nach Willkommen bei den Rileys, Adventureland, Im Land der Frauen und The Runaways interessiert hat was sie noch so gemacht hat außer Twilight.
    In der Beschreibung steht das sie an einer neuro Muskulären Krankheit leidet, das hat mich sehr interessiert, da ich selber an einer erkrankt bin.
    Als sich dann im Film raus stellte das ihre Rolle an der selben Friedreich Ataxie leidet wie ich, war ich sehr erstaunt.
    1. Da es doch eine eher seltene Form der Ataxie ist.
    2. Da dies Form eher in Europäischen Gefilden zu finden ist.
    3. Das diese Krankheit in keiner Beschreibung namentlich erwähnt wird, obwohl durch den Film deutlich wird das man gerne auf diese spezielle Krankheit aufmerksam machen will.
    Der Film ist sehr behutsam aufgebaut und wie auch zu erwarten sehr Anthropologisch aufgebaut da Mary Stuart Masterson Regie führte und auch als Produzentin tätig war.
    Hervorzuheben ist die Oscar reife Darstellung von K. Stewart die ihre Rolle so glaubhaft spielt, das man glauben könnte sie hätte diese Krankheit wirklich.
    Die gespielten Einzelheiten dieser Krankheit sind so fein ausgearbeitet das irgend eine Person für das Drehbuch tief in sich gegangen sein muss um seine Erfahrungen zu schildern.
    Durch sein plötzliches Ende regt der Film nochmal zum Nachdenken an.
    The Cake eaters ist kein Film der seine Zuschauer an die Hand nimmt und ihm alles auf einem Silber Tablett präsentiert, man muss Nachdenken und analysieren.
    Es bleibt keine Frage offen wenn man alles hinterfragt.
    Ein sehr anspruchsvoller Film der einzig und alleine im Schnitt einige Schwachstellen hat.
    Wenn man sich die Deleted Scenes auf der Blu ray anguckt fragt man sich warum die nicht drin sind, sie würden den Film jedenfalls verdaulicher machen, wenn auch in seinem Spektrum begrenzen.
