This may be the best non-documentary about eating disorders I've even seen. The film opens with a content warning, stating that this film was made with the help of people with eating disorders and displayed realistic scenarios that might be disturbing. They were right to put that up, as it was incredibly disturbing to watch big portions of this. What's even more disturbing is that Lily Collins, who played the lead, lost such an alarming amount of weight for this given that she is only a couple of scant years out from her own anorexia recovery. The film certainly does not glamorize anything, and it ends not really with an end, but rather a pause, from where the characters in the film could go anywhere. This was tough to watch, but it was truly excellent. 4.5/5
To the Bone on Netflix
