And many reviewers here needs education. The movie is not about anorexia. Doctor B treats young people with eating disorders. The background of any types of eating disorders is mental and starts in childhood. This movie is focusing on the personal backgrounds, not the nature of their disorders. You must understand this and look at this movie that way. As a professional clinical nutritionist I must say; it is a very raw and true to the real problems. Especially when they talk about the magazines, than you hear more about social media and what happened to her follower,etc.
a realistic, great movie.
If you look at this movie in details you'll see:
- 90% female characters, the only male ones are Dr B and Lucas. We never see Ellen's farther. He is always absent. That relationship has a huge impact on her relationship with men.
- They barely talk about their relationship with foods. Very important to listen how many times she says; I don't even know why am I doing this. All psychological issues aren't visible by the person who's suffering from them.
