The Cake Eaters

Kristen Stewart plays Georgia, a teenager living with Friedreich's ataxia, in The Cake Eaters (2007) — watch online on iFILM. The death of the Kimbrough family matriarch sets the story in motion: widower Easy chases a rekindled romance, eldest son Guy drifts back to town carrying a guilt he can't name, and his brother Beagle falls for Georgia, who is running out of time.

Bruce Dern, Melissa Leo and Jesse L. Martin round out the ensemble. Jayce Bartok wrote the script and took a role himself. Mary Stuart Masterson, the actress known from Benny & Joon, directed her first feature here — and she kept it small and unshowy, which suits the material.
