At least one movie in Oscar contention includes a character who is on a gluten-free diet. Can you name the flick I have in mind?

In Rachel Getting Married, Rachel's best friend Emma (Anisa George) doesn't eat gluten.
(See page 14 of the script.)
hi Thanks for posting. - the script didn't really come up with accessible page numbers. I skimmed a few but didn't see any mention.
I hope that the gluten free character was not portrayed as "hypochondriachal" or "picky" or "weak". That is the only way I have ever seen GF characters portrayed sofar. Make my day and tell me this one's different!! :-)
You're welcome!
You should be able to find the reference in the script by using "Find" to find the word "gluten." And of course it can be heard in the movie, which I think is pretty good.
I know what you mean by the way gluten-free people come across in the media; I cover that all the time. In this movie, it's a very minor, incidental thing, just part of the whole wedding weekend experience and far from the biggest issue that comes up.
For what it's worth, I think that one of the more interesting depictions of gf people can be found in the tween flick Sydney White.
Thanks - I mostly see kids' movies, since I'm a mom. the only mention of a GF character I've ever seen was in "Daddy Day Camp", in which the kid who is GF is spoiled and weak , with a New Age, hovering power mom. It's a cheap shot.
