Jul 14, 2017 · The new Netflix-produced drama, "To the Bone," written and directed by Marti Noxon, tells the tale of a young anorexic using the inside-joke gallows humor of the "rexies" (anorexics) themselves. Instead of approaching the topic in a solemn "issue of the week" way, "To the Bone" tries to lighten the mood.

At 20 years old, Ellen’s (Lily Collins) life has kind of stopped. Thanks to an eating disorder she has become skin and bones. To the point, she can wrap her thumb to middle finger around her upper arm. And while she recognizes things aren’t good, and has been in at least 4 inpatient treatment centers by the time we meet her, it’s hard. We aren’t to...
Luke
I was literally cheesing, after a certain point, whenever Luke opened his mouth. He is just made to be the type of guy you could actually imagine any girl falling for. Not because he looks like a heartthrob or because he is rich, but because he is just fun to be around. He makes you feel comfortable and can be weird at times, but he makes it charming. To the point that I’d say, Luke was played so well that to not desire to watch another one of Sharp productions would be hard. If just to see i...
Getting To Understand Both Sides of The Experience – The Family & The Person
With Collins herself going through an eating disorder, you can see her channel whatever pain she was in, alongside caused, in this role. But what makes this film a bit heartbreaking is you can see it is a two-way street. We don’t just experience the pain and difficulties of Ellen but also her family. People who are watching her wither away, who wanted, expected or desired her to be there for important moments in their life, and yet they can’t figure out a way to help. To the point that it alm...
Despite Ellen’s Sarcasm, This Doesn’t Seem like a YA Novel Adaptation
Does this sort of seem like a mash-up of Recovery Road and The Fault in Our Stars? Kind of. However, Ellen’s snark and pessimism never takes her to a point where she seems likes a literary character. There remains something very real in how Collins balances Ellen’s love for sarcasm with someone who doesn’t know what they are doing. Much less is asking for anyone, anything, to help her figure out not where rock bottom is, but how to get out of this hole. Something that, which perhaps should be...
So, About The Dad and This Tumblr Page
We don’t see Ellen’s dad at all or get any real vibe how he might have played into all this. It is made clear his relationship with Ellen is strained, but we don’t get to see how they are when in the same room together. Alongside that, I feel like that whole, “Ellen inspired some girl to kill herself” thing was just extra and unnecessary. I felt bad for Ellen already and was invested in her story. So this whole “this girl killed herself because she was inspired by Ellen and she left a suicide...
It Pushes You To Want To Know The Other People In The Group Home
This is an on the fence topic for it is good that you want to know more about these people, but the film doesn’t deliver that to you. But, at the same time, this film already is damn near 2 hours. So imagine how long it would be if it gave proper dues to everyone. But, with that in mind, it does make me so badly wish this wasn’t a single movie but a TV series. Sort of like how Recovery Roadshould have been but with a focus on eating disorders. That is, rather than drug and alcohol abuse.
I really wish Netflix would do wide releases of their movies. For I really feel like they don’t make movies to watch on your 20 or 30 something inch screen. They make the type of movies you need to be in a theater to truly experience in full. Not at your own convenience where if you get bored, hungry, or need to use the bathroom you can just pause ...

Jul 14, 2017 · July 14, 2017. To the Bone, which arrives on Netflix Friday, is a mostly unremarkable film about anorexia, in that it follows the model of virtually all existing films about the subject....
Jul 13, 2017 · To The Bone accurately portrays some of the aspects of living with an eating disorder. I do not believe the film overly glamorizes anorexia. It illustrates the mindset and some of the mental anguish of someone with an eating disorder. The film displays a number of common eating disorder behaviors.
