The World According to Garp
ComedyDrama136 min
Robin Williams is T.S. Garp, a struggling young writer whose life and work are steadily overtaken by the people closest to him. Mary Beth Hurt is the wife whose affairs keep destabilizing the home he’s trying to build, while Glenn Close is his fiercely self-possessed mother, whose blunt feminist manifesto turns her into a national figure. As her fame expands, Garp’s private life gets tangled with the same fights over sex, marriage, and identity that are remaking the culture around him.
