I've never had an ED but I think it was a great movie. I don't think it glamorizes anything, which I know a lot of people were worried about when the trailer came out.
I really liked the soundtrack and the acting was also really good. Lily Collins did as excellent job, as well as Keanu Reeves.

A movie which I think tells the truth without romanticizing an illness whatsoever. It's a serious subject and the movie will make you incredibly sad, but it will make you smile, heck, even laugh as well. The characters were all beautiful individuals with their own struggles and goals but at the same time the same thoughts. They understood each other when not many others did.

I loved the acting in this movie. Lily Collins is such a great actress and she gave this story so much meaning. It was an eye opener to see and hear her character tell about the things that go through her mind whenever she needs to eat. I think this movie helps you understand the illness better in some ways.

I really recommend you to watch this movie. It's a sad story, for sure, but in my opinion, it also helps people who don't know the illness (like me) understand. It's a quite hopeful story as well, which I think makes this movie an even more beautiful one.

Lilly Collins does what she can but To the Bone is a dull portrayal of anorexia despite coming from some people who have actually dealt with the condition. Collins' performance is very good but her character has consistency issues and there are a few characters that come across as annoying. Keanu Reeves pops up every now and then but his character should have been more involved in the movie than he was.

The rain room scene....breathtaking.

I liked the film, and was glad it didn't try to give pat answers to eating disorders, or come across as preachy. Admittedly, my eyes did well up with tears quite a few times, and this thanks to the committed playing of the cast. Fortunately, there is hope, and some of that was found in the film.

it's like the writers thought they were writing something good. i'm appalled. she had some fucking hallucination and everything is magically better.

would be 10x better if it didn't have that stale ass romantic side plot

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would , some of the scenes were really beautiful and I loved the character Pearl. The only thing I didn’t really like was the use of ableist slurs

Difficult movie to watch amazing perfomance from Collins 7.1/10

I can't say how accurate a portrayal of an ED this is, but I can say I didn't find it glamorizing EDs whatsoever. [spoiler]I saw it as a sad, hurting portrayal of very broken people, including the family members, and even the psychiatrist. I found the portrayal quite accurate for some mental issues, especially obsessive ones, where the person can know that they are hurting themselves but be unable to break from those thoughts for a very very long time. It left me with more questions than answers, and maybe that was the point.[/spoiler]

An amazing performance by Lily Collins! A very powerful story with some gut wrenching turns.

_To the Bone_ managed to touch me very much, although I usually don't involve so emotionally in a movie like in this case. For me, this story isn't about anorexia, I think another issue could have elaborated the main theme which was how a chronic disease could intoxicate besides the sick person, all the family relations. I mean that the family members love and care for each other, but in the surface we only can see how they just argue all the time, because they hope their life will be normal again, but they have different point of views to reach that and it seemed at the family therapy they hardly or don't understand each others'. That's why hit me really hard the end, when Ellen's mother finally accept and more importantly peace with her choice and that scene triggered a turn and a quasi rebirth in the girl's think of life which lead her back to the right path. At that point I was almost sobbing like a little child.
Incisive and visceral piece, which really deserves at least a watch!

I was not a huge fan of this movie. Somehow it feels like everyone is doing everything wrong and not really with the right intentions – not even the doctor…
Emotions seemed flat…
