This was a decent film and I think it's a very difficult subject matter to try to cover in a 90 minute film. I think that any one person's experience with an eating disorder (or addiction or mental health issue) is unique to that one person. That said, I felt like the film lacked depth in that the characters mostly all felt like stereotypical walking diagnoses. I find psychology very interesting and I consider myself a very compassionate person, but it was hard to muster sympathy for the characters at times. Their eating disorders were almost presented as phases of being a bratty millennial, which is not how I view eating disorders at all. Now here's the weird thing. I don't think that was the filmmaker's intention at all. I think this was meant to be a deep exploration of the issue.
Ultimately, the movie felt short for me in characterization and the pacing was a bit slow, but I did still find it interesting in that it's a story that isn't always told and it's always nice to see different points of views on mental health subjects. I think it's a brave subject matter to tackle and I commend the filmmakers for that. I wish I could give it higher than a 6.
