The Cake Eaters: DVD Review
The Cake Eaters
Rating: M
Released by Arkles Entertainment
Kristen Stewart (sort of) sheds her Bella from Twilight image in this
bittersweet story of love.
Set in small town
America, Stewart plays Georgia, a teen with Freidreich's Ataxia, a progressive
degenerative disease of the nervous system.
Georgia suffers with a slurred speech and a stuttering walk - but one
day, while at a car boot sale, she meets Beagle (Aaron Stanford), the son of a
local butcher. Beagle's family has been torn apart by their mother's death and
his long errant brother has also just returned to town - to a wall of bitterness
and anger at his absence during the family loss.
This quiet low key, character driven indie would probably have been
consigned to TV movie status (and has sat on a shelf since 2007) were it not for
Kristen Stewart and the Twilight mania. That said, while she does play a
variation of the Bella character, Stewart shows what a talented actress she
actually is.
