Not sure why but the audio was really bad. The acting left A LOT to be desired. It didn't seem real. It was a good portrayal of anorexia's signs and symptoms.

A serious movie about a serious problem.

I watched this movie with interest. It is a movie, with characters and a plot, but for me it was mainly interesting as if it was a documentary. The movie was made by a teenage who went through this and therefore gives a genuine look inside a hospital were (mainly, in this case) anorexia is being treated. How is the day-to-day life for such children? Although informative, this movie is, in my opinion, in no way a propaganda movie for this treatment. Don't show it to your kid that you feel has similar problems. At best it may convince parents about just how serious and difficult the disease is. If you have, or know, a child with this problem then watching this movie might teach you that this is really a very difficult and serious condition that they can't recover from with professional help and for which the child is not to blame. Likewise, if you kid is bullying a child with this disease then maybe too could help them to understand; although I doubt that, bullies are sick themselves and probably need something more before they can change...
Bad acting but accurate

The acting is quite stilted and off-base a lot of the time, however the content is reasonably good.
Its main selling point is its accurate depiction of inpatient treatment. I'm an ED Dietitian working with children and young people, and the treatment programme itself is pretty accurate.
I found it weird that there was no longer dining room however I imagine this was production related i.e. the filming venue didn't have an appropriate space.
Amazing!!!!!!

Pretty good

I really applaud the high schoolers who put this film together. What an amazing effort! I liked the story and the trajectory of the character, though it was a bit saccharine. I was a little confused by the casting of the mother - no offense, but I thought she was a grandmother. It was a little distracting, though I liked her character. Overall, I think it brought good attention to a very serious problem, and despite a few things I wasn't a fan of, it was an effective piece.
