Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies May 6 This movie has a special place in my heart. Robin Williams, Glenn Close, Mary Beth Hurt and John Lithgow are absolutely outstanding. Being a writer, this is definitely the best movie ever about a writer, his life and creativity. It is the best film adaptation of a book and there are so many powerful scenes and a huge heart amidst heartbreak and darkness.

It’s mostly highly respected, especially for the acting, but it’s also not an easy watch, which might explain why it’s a bit underrated. Robin Williams had only done tv, a cameo in a 1977 comedy and then Popeye. Casting him this early (1982) in such a heavy drama took some imagination. Williams is brilliant, portraying a real, imperfect, vulnerable person surrounded by colorful characters who still feel real. Garp features some of the saddest moments in film, realistically tragic. By the end, it can feel a bit exhausting, but I view Garp as a story about how life actually feels. We have some success, some triumphs, some love, but also much pain, many mistakes and losses. Garp is a special film, painful, funny, and moving, complete with a heartbreaking ending. See more Christian S @Cstein99 08/19/2024 Well written, acted, directed. True work of art!
