This movie is *chefs kiss.* The acting is impeccable and the storyline makes it amusing. It is a little sad and some of the content assumed is for more mature viewers. It is a fantastic movie!
Combining lenardo DeCaprio and Johny Depp is really a good idea. Johny Depp plays Gilbert, a young man who has to look after his autistic brother (Lenardo DeCaprio). The acting is fantastic and the plot is wonderfull.
