5/5 Best things come in little packages.
  by Pit O'Maley (Alameda, Ca United States)
If this movie was overlooked at Oscar time we have critics that cannot see beyond their teenage years. Although I was drawn to this gem on the strength of Kristen Stewart's haunting and growing library of solid acting chops to date, enlarged deservedly by "Twilight," her range of work predicts an ascent to the heights of Streep with no reservations. This film is perfectly cast and exquisitely written as it explores the territory of generational love, as well as a Camille-like subplot of Kristen's terminal condition(not the story focus),and still delivers roundhouse performances from all the ensemble cast, particularly Bruce Dern and Elizabeth Ashley, two old studio veterans, that allows them to make up for their lengthy absences from the big screen. I have not seen a film cover such wide ground of emotions in so concise a manner so completely. Every character in this small, independent offering towers in courage before your eyes with fine shadings of flawed humanity and dignity. You will find yourself in this bitter-sweet offering in one of the characters and never forget what was so well unspoken long after each character had their say about the complexities of finding love in time. I can only explain the Oscar robbery as the Mona Lisa effect, cluttering the back room until it gets truly discovered by one with an eye for greatness.

5/5 Really moving movie

This movie was amazing, so much better than I expected. The characters were real and believable and Kristen Stewart gave a compelling performance.

4/5 Great movie!!

I absolutely loved this movie. But I think you have to be a fan of not only Kristen Stewart, but also this type of movie. It's quirky and fun, but not in the Juno-esque sense. Kristen Stewart does her best acting yet (no, she's not in love with a vampire in this one, get over it). Don't expect to see cake or people eating it. This is a movie about breaking free and doing things your way. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I'm not sure how many others would.

5/5 Georgia on my mind

Kristen stewart is magical in this film. Mary Stuart Masterson is the magic fairy in this film, Melissa Leo was marvelously seen on flashbacks but Bruce Dern is the one that tops the Cake. You will not recognize Aaron Stanford here, since he plays no X-man mutant, but a young imploding dutiful son.

The title of the film is explained in the director's commentary in case you are wondering. I won't spill it because you need to watch the film and be mesmerized by the beauty of Cake Eaters. Yes I said beautiful because there is no other way to qualify this film.

Such incredible, talented people gathered in this indie film will make you feel good about your own life. The message of the movie will leave you asking for seconds of this Cake.

Kristen Stewart's Georgia character is the best of her long career, her second being Melinda on the film Speak (also an indie film).

5/5 Great movie

I came across this movie while searching for other Kristen Stewart movies. Kristen Stewart dosen't get enough credit as she is an extremely talented actress. She plays a girl with special needs and was so believable. She really makes you feel for the character Georgia who along with her special needs has a control freak tyrant for a mother. Talia Balsam stars as the mother and she made overbearing look darn good! Bruce Dern(hilarious)and Jessie L Martin from Law and Order also star so a realy good cast as well. I loved it and definitely recommend it!
