Synopsis
Big Eden (2000) is a quiet romantic drama by first-time feature director Thomas Bezucha, available to watch online on iFILM. New York artist Henry Hart (Arye Gross) returns to the small Montana town where he grew up when his grandfather has a stroke.
Henry carries feelings for Dean (Tim DeKay), his straight high school friend — long enough that hope has calcified into habit. Meanwhile Pike (Eric Schweig), the reserved Native American who runs the local general store, starts leaving homemade food for Henry and his grandfather without ever being asked. Just shows up. Every day.
Bezucha shoots for an unusual register — a small American town that receives a gay protagonist without cruelty or spectacle. Louise Fletcher and George Coe round out the cast. Stream Big Eden (2000) online on iFILM.
