A lot of the time it is not the show itself that 'romanticizes' the illness, it is the viewers who glamorize it instead.
Exactly! But like look at Lilly, she's gorgeous, even in the movie. How do they expect young girls and women not to wanna look/be like her? Anorexia is often considered a "pretty girl disease" or played out in movies as something the "popular girls" deal with. I think the film could have been uglier, like showcased the really unattractive parts of an eating disorder.
Bri Terry It did show the unglamorous parts. The hair, bruises, bones etc.
Oairea B I think you are absolutely right. I suffered from Bulimia Nervosa almost 5 years, never did I think they glamorized it. I personally think Lily is a beautiful beautiful actress, but I did not see that beauty in her for the thinness of her and the malnutrition look she had was nothing close to glamour. I personally do not think they glamorized the illness, but did an excellent job portraying it.
Bri Terry Lily is gorgeous, but I didn't think she looked pretty AT ALL in the film. She looked wasted away. That was the point. She only looked really pretty at the end, when she imagined herself happy and healthy, imo
Oairea B it's also the writers though who do this
I feel like if anyone makes a movie/show on any mental disorder or problem, people are just going to say they're glorifying it or romanticising it because it's being talked about it.
ʟᴏᴜɪsᴇ ʟᴜɴᴛ IKR! It's so irritating! And generally the people getting offended don't even have a disorder themselves! I have bipolar (among other diagnosed illnesses) and an ED, and neither this nor 13 reasons why were offensive to me at all. People need to stop trying to censor portrayals of touchy subjects just because they are potentially triggering.
nor se yeah I have Bipolar too. People just want a reason to shout about stuff, it's just because people are finally talking about it
13 Reasons Why was romanticizing mental illness. You can't claim otherwise when the show refused to even say what Hannah was suffering from. When the show turned a bullying awareness book into a mental illness awareness show without mentioning: depression, ptsd, anxiety, bipolar or whatever it was Hannah had. When they added extra drama and extra romance to the show to make it more appealing and then left the first season on a cliffhanger to get a second season and make more money. Or when lines like "I cost a girl her life because I was too afraid to love her", "You can try loving someone back to life" and when scenarios like Clay confessing his love to Hannah and her hinting that a confession could have saved her life were added.
There is a very fine line between glamorization and awareness and stories. There are plenty of shows, books and movies that don't glamorize anything and have a very accurate or respectful portrayal of suicide attempts, mental illness etc. For example, in the show Glee a character attempts suicide after being victim to his classmates bullying after they find out he is gay. Although the whole thing takes place in ONE EPISODE, it is not glamorizing suicide at all.
I was diagnosed with certain mental illnesses when I was 10. I am turning 19 this year. 13 Reasons Why did not offend me. But that doesn't mean it didn't glamorize a serious issue. It didn't offend me because it didn't have the power to offend me. But many other clinically diagnosed people were offended by it.
There are many shows and books that don't glamorize mental illness. 13 Reasons Why is not one of those. To The Bone is one of those.
This looks good, but you've got to admit 13rw was absolute shit. Completely romanticized, and like she says this movie doesn't, showed images not needed to be seen completely.
Maria Sanchez yeah in the show, some ways it did.
aah she's so well spoken
Jess Li yay i was your 1,000th like!
Like n° 1.400
@@Kmsnna1012 Sad accomplishment
No she isn’t , she used a tremendous amount of vocal fillers.
@@MissKoriana studies suggest vocal fillers help you sound more relatable and give audiences time to take in what you're saying. they're also well-baked into modern language so carry meaning or help convey the intention of a sentence, so it's not necessarily an inherently bad thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I noticed in Okja how skinny her face was. She is hands down one of my favorite actresses. What was concerning for me after learning she was playing this part was that she suffered from an eating disorder in her past. For her to be able to play this role and not slip back into it shows she has fully recovered. Can't wait to see it!
Animal Liberation fully agree!! But in the vid she said she'd never gone through that 1:30 ??
Amelie Grace She could mean that she's never gone through anorexia in specific. There are lots of other eating disorders.
Amelie Grace I think she brain farted and meant "and" instead said nor? I've been reading a lot of articles all of which states that both her and the director went through eating disorders. Maybe they had bulimia vs anorexia? Or something similar
I think she meant "neither I nor Marty would glamorize it"
Ish
I loved this movie. Made me cry a lot, and smile sometimes too. It didn't glamorize eating disorders, if anything it shed the reality of it being a serious mental and physical disorder
I cried toooo
Sumukhi Devi i cryed alot too 💝
I have not yet had the courage to watch te movie, because I am a person at risk of relapse, but I have seen various pieces and I think I will love this film - I know that anorexia, when you are NOT inside the illness, seems fascinating, but it sucks and devours you alive. Your good ideas, hopes, force of will...finally, the strength to take care of you.
i completely agree!! it’s heart wrenching and does the opposite of encourage an eating disorder. it shows all aspects of it, including the gross and hard to talk about ones. absolutely beautiful.
Lily could easily be Audrey Hepburn's doppelgänger
if there was ever a movie in which someone had to play audrey she would definitely be a candidate for that
noooo... she's probably the celebrity that comes closest to looking like audrey, but even then she doesn't look like her.
I agree elizabeth!
yup Audrey is singular, but as for me Lily reminded me of her during the interview. now, i agree inside the 7.5 billions fellows we've got there could be a lost in time almost monozygotic twin somewhere.
Yes! Both such incredibly beautiful, talented, and classy women ♡
Anyone that ACTUALLY watched the film would see that it is in no way "glamorous". It is a very realistic film unfortunately .. I'm hoping that people who don't understand EDs will watch this and walk away more understanding.
Amanda Panda it isn’t realistic cuz everyone is thin and only a third of people with eating disorders are underweight. What about the normal weight people? Especially with bulimia, but with anorexia too
@@moodywrites there's a girl in the treatment center who is overweight.. And a few "look" healthy.
No Thanks why did you watch it if you were going to be triggered ???
Aliya Katz don’t you realized that they was in a clinic, where they were getting help because it was severe?
People with EDs will romanticize it tho, will see it as a goal and as something that they wanna be and look like, it all depends on the person
everyone who watches the trailer should watch this too
Ehh yeahhhhh
I know that I can sometimes get affected by watching stuff like this but I am honestly so glad that I watched it; I took a lot away from it
why do I always think she's gonna be british
She was born in England and her dad is British 😊
technically she is
@@BeccaBender37 there is no such thing as " technically " a Brit . she is either a Brit citizen or not , altho she has clearly ( judging from her accent ) spent most of her life in the USA .
@@numbat0072 if ur born in the U.K. then ur nationally is British
I think it's because she reminds u of audrey Hepburn, she was also British, or maybe she just has a look to her lmao
Lily Collins is the most beautiful woman in hollywood. no joke. she is the definition of beauty
As someone who’s been a bulimic-anorexic-bulimic-anorexic consistently for thirteen years, this was hands down the most real, raw and honest portrayal of eating disorders in all their forms; over eater, bulimic, anorexic, binge eating etc and all the stages of recovery, attitudes etc. props to all involved and still so so happy this film exists and was done tastefully.
holy shit, alex sharp looks way older in this interview than he did in the film :o
Ma Eve
He does?
Makeup.
Totalmente
@@Itsrainingsimmies Yup and also post production clean up (basically filters that you don't notice)
I saw Chris Pratt once (didn't meet him, just saw him) and i couldn't believe it was him until i saw people taking pictures asking for autographs. The guy looked just like a regular dude.
Hollywood/showbizz really is just smoke and mirrors.
@@datatsushi2016 makeup doesn’t take 20 pounds off your face. They also don’t waste money on “post production clean up” its simply weight gain since he had to starve himself for the film.
Very well spoken, classy, and mature. Love Lily!
Godbless you pretty angel
Lily is a great actor!!
One day recently I got on twitter and I saw a headline about the director getting backlash for To The Bone and I'm like, hmmm I should check that out. Watched the trailer and I was like, why is the director getting backlash? It looks like a movie that will help those with eating disorders to realize that they're not alone and to find the strength and courage to get help and for those who don't have it to encourage those who have the disorder to get help. I don't see eating disorders being glamorized. It's a message for the world saying, hey there are millions out there struggling with this and people are ignoring it cause it's an uncomfortable topic and if nobody says anything then I will. Watch this movie or tv series or whatever it is and learn something.
Linda
a eating disorder is a touchy subject and it can cause people to starve themselves I watched something before and it caused me to starve myself and now im underweight and my heart is at risk for a heart attack what I'm trying to say someone could look at this film and think oh I'm gonna starve myself I will be skinny plus the film is listed as a comedy the subject of anorexia or any eating disorder is not a comedy it's not funny plus it glamorise anorexia I don't look that pretty with starving myself my lips turned blue I had eye bags I looked grey like I was already dead this film only the trailer nearly caused me to relapse from my recovery also making someone who had a eating disorder themselves who recovered to lose weight to be unhealthy again is stupid and the most idiotic thing just because she had a nutritionist and people watching her doesn't make a diffrence I had people watching I still didn't eat does not change anything plus this can cause people who have anorexia be in even more denial that they have it because there not underweight anorexia doesn't come in a size she could of played the roll at a normal weight because anorexia doesn't have a size it's a mental health problem inside the head that's the main problem she didn't need to lose weight it's hard seeing people going love to watch this this looks so good fuck off people it makes me feel shit like someone would love to watch me starve to death
Linda i agree with you, completely. they aren't glamorising this common problem, unlike other netflix originals... anyway, i agree so much!
+imaPotato I'm sorry you have this problem and I hope you're getting help for it. I don't believe this is glamorizing eating disorders. I believe it's a wake up call to America that this is a problem and people need to take action. I think there's only comedy in it so that it breaks the ice and helps people to move forward with it and continue improving. You need entertainment and comedy to get peoples attention or otherwise it won't work. Get what I'm saying? I hope you get better soon.
+Sasha Fogelmanis Thank you!!!
imaPotato I'm really sorry you are going through that but there is something you fail to understand here; there is no way for people with eating disorders to avoid triggers. None. And this is coming from someone who has been fighting anorexia for years, I am at a healthy weight now, but it's always a struggle. Do you want to know who my biggest trigger was? Not a show about anorexia, not a movie "glorifying" it. A singer. A girl in a music video became a huge trigger. That doesn't mean I am going to go after every little thing that might be triggering. If I did, I'd have to lock myself away and never look at the outside world. Living with an eating disorder means having the tools to deal with things lime that because why is the world going to stop and question every little thing just because of me.
Personally? I like the fact that they are making it a comedy and taking the awkwardness and uncomfortable parts of the situation away. It would make it a little easier to handle when it is not looked at as just an illness but as something that has ups and downs. Something that can be addressed and not by walking on eggshells around the patient.
If it's really that bad for you, talk about it with your therapist. Watch it with them. Ask them questions. But don't fall for this mentality that just because you have an illness, showing it on a screen is suddenly the worst thing anyone can do. They are not doing it to hurt you or me or anyone with an ED.
As she really went through having an eating disorder this was a dangerous role to play
Yep
So intelligent
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Oh, God... Poor girl. Being a recovered anorexic and having to go through weight loss again :-( Of course it's her own choice and she worked with dietitians, but still. It must have trigger things from her past. I'd never lose weight again, too risky and emotional for me.
She is so well spoken!
she chooses her words so wisely and i just love that they are both not afraid to talk about such sensitive subjects openly
*may be spoilers*
i've seen the movie 3 times so far and i absolutely love it. i've also seen many people saying that they romanticized the concept of anorexia and it was not accurate, but i didn't see either of those things. If showing bruises on your back from sit-ups, showing hairy arms, and fainting from malnourishment is romanticizing an ED than i guess i don't have the correct definition. and for the comments saying it isn't accurate: everybody has different stories. Just because it doesn't depict your story and your struggles, it does not mean that it was inaccurate. Personally, i found it relatable. I've had an ED and i still find myself struggling sometimes, and somehow i found comfort in this movie because i saw myself in Ellen/Eli.
I think this movie will be really good for people who know someone with an eating disorder and help understand them. As a person who had full-blown anorexia with intrusive thoughts (feeling possessed to control my food intake and exercise), I got so frustrated when people asked if I was starving myself for boys. *It was about control*. No matter what the initial reason for weight loss was, I felt more in control when I lost weight (as those whith anorexia find), I felt more discipline, and I quickly became obsessed and I *couldn't* just stop. I was so self aware of my stomach and if I felt slightly full, I felt like a guilty glutton with no discipline. I didn't judge others on their weight (most people with anorexia don't, but some do) All I cared abiut was my weight, my body fat percentage. And if it was underweight and under a healthy body fat percentage, *I felt safe*
Rudolph Rudolph for me my bulimia is about yes losing weight and yes control but for me mostly a sense of accomplishment. I actually started the self induced vomiting with a goal of losing weight and relieving my self if he guilt and panic I'd feel after eating. Eventually I realized I couldn't stop because it made me feel like I had finally done something right when I failed at everything else. All my
Siblings are incredibly intelligent people and I'm just average so when I purged I felt like this was something that was my own and something that I had accomplished which sound super messed up but that's why I can't stop like I'm finally doing something right, finally fixing a mistake I made(eating). I play the violin and I used to be the only one in the family who played an Instrument. My little sister is an amazing artist and my older sister is an amazing singer and my older brother is on his way to becoming a doctor. My violin is what gave me a sense of individuality and worth and I got attention from my mom because of it because I was the only one playing something. Then my older sister picked up the guitar and played super well and very quickly snatching the only thing I had to hold on to away. They get all the awards my family hangs up and they're all more attractive than I am and my brain twist all these feelings and finds a way to make it seem that this is all caused by my weight and the way I look.
Rudolph Rudolph I'm not disagreeing with you or anything I was just sharing my story :)
Exactly! My parents ask me the same, was I doing this to get boys' attention or become a model? No. It's about finding control.
this!!! the culture of silence benefits no one. we are taught that just because something happens doesn't mean we are to talk about it. so happy there is this film that focuses on recovery and not just the ed :)
this movie helped my friend when she was struggling during her recovery of bulimia nervosa. it helped her to know that she’s not alone and gave her some perspective and it was crucial when she was recovering. thank you so much.
i hate how everybody always thinks that a show or movie glamorizes an issue just because it's being shown and talked about. like 13 reasons why. it's not glamorizing suicide. it's showing that there are reasons people do horrible things and shows the ways in which we can stop it from happening. this movie does the same. it's showing the reality of an eating disorder. besides, the critics are always people who either never watched or never personality went through it. i know many people who watched 13 reasons and were so glad that the show was raw and told it like it was instead of sugar coating it and i'm glad this movie is doing the same.
starless_ I completely agree with your comment, I just think 13 reasons why is not a good representation on this issue. 13 reasons was maybe before the attention it received a show meant to bring awareness to suicide, but after the fame it's clear it was all for the money, especially with them coming out with a season 2.
Blank R I love that point because season 2 really pissed me off at one point. It changed the show into a money making thing not a show to bring awareness.
13rw was pathetic dont get triggered because shes blaming people for her choices ;/
Hannah Boffin I completely agree, and personally I feel like in my opinion Hannah leant over more towards the psychotic side, although I do think she had very bad depression due to the action of others, I also believe that the producers made it seem like she was all innocent when she watched her "best friend" get raped and still went on to leave a tape for her.
aesthetivlly yes it's true that she blamed other people for her own choices but i think the true meaning is that every little thing that to us seems not important is a burden to others and can lead to certain actions
Is it me or she's too similar to Audrey Hepburn?
Seam ._. its a good thing (:
Demi Demi Demi DemiDemi she's the new audrey hepburn
Slother yeah, but she isn’t british like Audrey Hepburn
mizi tac she is british. But she often speaks with an American accent because of her roles
Katie Logan
I'm not entirely sure why you seem to have taken Seam ._.'s comment as an attack on Audrey, but you've evidently taken it too literally. They just meant that Audrey and Lily are visually similar.
Also, sophiexeditings, Lily was born in England, but moved to the US when she was little and lost her Surrey accent. The accent in this video is her current accent.
She is so GOOD on this movie, i was left Speechless at the end. Very strong movie.
Someone close to me has been struggling with an eating disorder and watching this movie helped me understand her illness more. I do not know what it feels like to have this disorder but I know what it feels like to feel helpless in helping someone who does. It seems no matter how much you love them it doesn't cure it. It takes their own courage and strength to face it and deal with it. The love and support is needed but not enough. They need it for themselves as well. My heart and prayers goes out to anyone with this struggle..it is one of the hardest things I have ever seen someone endure. I think it's an underlying depression causing it.
Lily is so smart, genuine and sweet. I really admire here, how professional she is. Besides, she's really pretty and nice. I wish I could know her face to face, you know...Her book is awesome, her movies, how she acts and deals with everything. Congrats, sweetie❤️
she really deserves more recognition
she is so well spoken. so much respect for her.
I was seriously anorexic and this movie isn’t glamorizing at all. It shows the horrific realities and the pain that people went through. It was incredible to see how they say all you can say about recovery and how it’s such a personal and tricky thing. Clearly, there was a lot of understanding, good intention, and good execution in making it.
Hope you're doing better x
This movie really touched my heart. I’m still recovering from anorexia and when I saw this film I couldn’t hold back my tears
She's literally drop dead gorgeous-
I think it about time someone makes this kind of a movie. I have an eating disorder but lucky I am recovering from it now. When I saw the trailer for this movie I got a kick in my body and a huge flashback because about a year ago I looked like it. And now that I have gained weight I see the change on my body and it's hard. But yeah when I saw this skinny person with so many issues and with so much pain I was relieved that I am on a better path :) so I think this movie can be a wake up call for so many people that struggle or have struggled with this kind of an disorder. I am looking forward to this movie and a huge applause to lily for putting so much of her self into this part ❤️
She is so beautiful, how is she even real
Loved the movie so much, especially the part when I realized that Lilly Collins is playing in the movie!! I’m 13 years old and I’m struggling with an eating disorder and I hate the way it makes me feel every day.. i have help from both my parents and a lot of doctors but I really don’t feel like I get the help I need physically, but when I watched this movie yk something in me changed. I felt like I.. I don’t wanna feel like this, I don’t want my life to be a living hell. I’m rly trying my best to change the way I think about food and myself. This movie was a start.
I love how she's so intelligent, she's not some hollywood egotistic ditzy girl, she's compassionate and has deep thaught about her roles, one of my favorite actors for sure and she's absolutely beautiful.
I watched this film a couple years back while i was struggling with an ED and it really took into perspective how others went though this and how harsh of a reality it really was, the movie ultimately brought me to tears
She so classy and well spoken. She’s absolutely lovely ❤️
I love Lily Collins so much from love, Rosie then this 😍
MukThatGirl is that good I heard it wasn't good
Amber M it's amazing I loved it
Amber M I think it was good
MukThatGirl t
and stuck in love omg
13 reasons why is shaking
hann j. michaels 13rw is a piece of shit and hannah is absolutely psychotic. coming back with a season 2, this show is clearly about milking the money and not about raising awareness. besides, it's supposed to be about her mental health and yet it never stated what she has. depression, ptsd, what??? smh that show is just garbage
It was a horrible series such a waste of my time watching it.
*LMAOOOOOO*
Jecky Barnard it’s not horrible at all🙄
A VH it’s not a piece of shit🙄 and there was a reason for season 2, JUSTICE FOR HANNAH AFTER ALL SHE WENT THROUGH
Was I the only one incredibly disappointed with the ending? I need to see them reuniting!!!
Rachie2k13 I felt that too, but I think it was symbolic-it didn’t have an ending because eating disorders are usually constant ups and downs, recovery is long and rocky and most people deal with it for many years if not for their entire lives. It would’ve dragged on if they showed the entire process.
The ending was plain bad
I totally agree they should have shown how happy he was to see her back and had a scene with them together... really bad ending...(but that dream scene was amazing)
the movie is about her, it’s not about them being together as a couple
I was just disappointed because in the film we never got to see Eli fully recovered.
That movie was a part of the things that helped me realize I have an eating disorder. And just like Eli I chose recovery. If you are affected by an ed, please talk to your doctor or at least to your parents. You deserve a healthy and free life without any food restrictions or whatever. Don’t waste your life away!
I watched To The Bone last night. It's so well done. I think a lot of people think anorexia is about a girl/woman who wants to be super-thin. It's really not about that. As I was watching, it really impressed on me how much it's like any intense addiction.
Whenever a movie or show is based off of a controversial topic someone is going to see it as glorification, and someone is going to see it as a positive message on mental health.
Beautifully said. She's so eloquent 💕
she’s amazing, she isn’t glamorising it she’s trying to get the word out. how awful eating disorders are
I loved this movie so much, i chose it completely randomly one day and it was so good.
the movie was incredible..I cried so much during it oh god
As someone with anorexia and ARFID, this movie is pretty dang accurate. It can be triggering because of this but it’s insanely real and I love that they portrayed all kinds of EDs and not just the classic anorexia… (although it is important too)
This is the movie ! The best ! I loved it , it was so powerful and so well told . I give props to lily as an actress as well as the rest of the cast
i really loved this movie, learnt a lot of things, and felt a lot of things. her dramatic weight loss was really heart breaking as i could see how much she would've felt mental & physical pain :( i think she's a great actor, fitting her role perfectly into the character. she's so professional and so beautiful ! just love watching her movies
Thank you for doing this role and respecting the character you play!! Kudos ❤
Guy on the right looks like mark zuckerberg
Just watched this movie and I have to say... it's so underrated! Look, I don't have an eating disorder, but I could still relate to the characters so much, and I can feel how passionate the cast and crew were about the message and story to get across with this movie. It is painful and gritty and as Lily says, the critics who call it 'romanticised' really should watch more than just the trailer.
I really loved this movie. Lily is an amazing actress. She's one of my favourite.
nobody gonna talk about how much we loved Alex Sharp in this movie....💕
She’s so gorgeous I can’t stop admiring her beauty oooomg
i have just finished watching this movie for the fifth time and i got through my disorder and i gained respect for other recovery styles through this movie
Well done I'm, really happy for you :)
To the bone was absolutely amazing, such a beautiful movie
I watched this on Netflix and it was AMAZING!!
I just watched the movie, and as someone who struggled with anorexia for 5 years, I've never seen such an accurate representation of what anorexia is and feels like. My 14 year old self would heavily relate to the character of Ellen and for everyone saying the movie glamorized eating disorders, I see the opposite. It was a very accurate representation of what it's like to have it and I believe it did a great job at showing the reality rather than glamorizing it. I can't even see how it would be "glamorizing" anorexia, coming from someone who's been through it.
as recovering this is a God Sent movie. A good eye opening for us who are recovering.
i'm watching this movie for the second time and I started crying 40 minutes in because it's just so painful how real it is
I just watched the movie so as a viewer, I feel like I have to say this movie is about HEALING.
I'm actually so excited to see this series now!
Tia Smith it's a movie, actually! But yeah, I'm excited as well!
i think they should make it into a series as the ending movie set it up as a series.
I NEED ANOTHER MOVIE NOW DON'T GET MY HOPES UP
Tia Smith It's a movie, not a series
balasoori it’s meant to leave you to your own decisions; did she recover? Did she relapse? Etc. there’s no black and white with ED recovery and I think a second installment would ruin what this film is; an absolutely wonderful nod and eye opening experience into the world of eating disorders.
This movie made me cry.. I loved it so much
This woman is gold.
Who agrees there needs to be a sequel??
I love how they is addressed. Like there is such a big difference between raising awareness and glamorizing mental illness and this movie is a perfect example. It shows all of the horrific things that come with having an eating disorder and having other mental illness and it raises awareness, but shows like 13 reasons glamorize it my making it fun and into a drama and make it look like a choice
Lily Collins is such an angel
I saw the movie before I saw this, and I love the movie so much. But I couldn't tell who they were. They look so different, but in like a good way. She's so gorgeous!
I have seen the film and I do think it is brilliant. I would like to point out that lily collins said she didn't go through something like this but in an interview with soemone else she said that she went through an eating disorder, obviously its her business on that but I was a little confused. As someone who has BDD this film is amazing to show and I wish it came sooner, hopefully there will more more films covering other mental illnesses.
i love Lily, she is so down to Earth, i love her.
People said this about 13RW as well but in this movie especially it shows anorexia as a disease physical and mental. It didn’t treat it like a weight loss program. It showed how it affected her parents and step parents her sister and her life. It also mainly showed how it affected her, I mean you could tell she (Eli) was dying inside knowing what was happening to her wanting to change it not knowing how.
Lily is amazing
still wishing that they would bring the TMI movies back .. Love her
just watched this brilliantly made film. took my breath away.
More empathy and more understand is really all people who suffer eating disorder need. I've been in eating disorders for 3/4 of my life and when you're ''marked'' you will never be the same again, but you can learn to nourish yourself in a healthy way and completely exorcise the obsessions for calories ... you can manage not to weigh yourself every day and have a relatively serene life, with moments of pure joy eating . You have to ask and accept professional help, you must trust me, I promise you that you can do it !!! Yes, we gonna make it!
Oh my god she’s so beautiful
It was an amazing movie and I think they handled the topic very well. Especially considering that films about touchy subjects are so sensitively critiqued. This was 1000x better handled than and incomparable to 13 Reasons Why
I admire Lily immensely
As someone with an eating disorder, I think the honest truth of why people think the movie is controversial is because people with eating disorders are afraid that other people will get their illness also. I don't know.. this might just be my truth, but it's a truth nonetheless. I hated introducing my friends to skins, or anything dealing with eating disorders because I was afraid they'd like what they saw and try to get an eating disorder also. And being sick, I felt like my eating disorder was the only thing special about me, and I didn't want anyone taking it away from me. I wanted it to be all mine. So I guess talking about eating disorders scares me, because in my head the conversation is either because it's being glamorized or because I'm being scolded. But what I failed to realize is that my eating disorder is what makes those sickly thin bodies, and those disgusting habits of chew and swallow to be lusted over. Because to me that is control. It's sick.. I know it is. But I was just afraid that this movie would make people want to have this illness. I was afraid they'd take this from me. This one thing I could call mine. But why would I even want it.. right?
*chew and spit
Fucking hell you read my mind. This is the most real shit I've read on the internet. I'm the same about my ED. It's mine and a part of my individuality in a way, and no way do I want people to take that from me. I feel selfish and sick for thinking like that, so I'm glad I've found someone else who thinks the same.
Iesha I know, I always have a guilty conscious about it too.. but I think it's normal to identify with your struggles. It's a deadly fight and it shapes us whether we like it or not. I hope you're able to beat this awful illness! Best of luck to you and much love ❤️
Aww you're very sweet! Same to you
Iesha thank you
I wish this would get back to all those who made this movie - This touched more than just people with eating disorders - I was diagnosed with and Autism Spectrum disorder 3 years ago at age 59. The message is about an affirmation of life and the will to live. The suicide rate, attempted and successful in the ASD community is 1 in 3. Ideation is 3 in 4. This movie has touched me and others I share it with in my community. The movie shows in gentle and direct ways, many challenges people with trauma issues face. True to my autistic nature, I've watched this moved repeatedly - internalizing the important messages it brings. The quality of the acting, the script, photography etc... made it a tool for some to see into themselves... into that void we keep ourselves safe. But it is a void where life does not get in either... The message Keanu Reeves spoke came through gently but with great power - A matter of fact way - to touch the soul... thank you all for a truly unique and powerful therapeutic message.
so well spoken, eloquent, intelligent and wise as always
Love what Alex Sharp had to say at 1:45
"They've only seen the trailer" SLAY LILY🙌🏼😂
lily is the actual love of my life
Shes so graceful omg
She should be audrey hepburn in a movie about her ♡ I would love to see her play her looks so much alike !:)
This movie was absolutely amazing and it gave me an outsiders perspective to this kind of thing ❤️ must admit it didn't help me get much better personally but probably helped someone out there
The people who are saying that it’s the viewers who are glamourising it, if you’ve ever developed an eating disorder you would know that there are so many parts and lines in To The Bone that feed heavily into the stigmas surrounding eating disorders. You don’t get to decide who and what glamourises anything when you haven’t even experienced the true hell that is an eating disorder.
Lily Collins seems like a really intelligent person, I hope she does well in life.
I just watched this movie and I loved it. I don’t think this glamorizes eating disorders or mental illness. It’s a beautiful film that talks about some thing that many people deal with.
I've watched this movie a milllion times. I struggled with anorexia a few years ago which makes this movie very important to me. This is the first movie I see that really catches everything about having an eating disorder. How "Ellen" thinks people are being annoying when they point out how skinny she is and how dangerous it is, what happens to your body when you starve: like when Megan loses her baby because her body can't feed them both, how they all tries to keep things they do in secret like the vomit in the bag, Ellen measuring her arms etc and how they all - even tho how sick they get, how many times they've gotten the tube - wants to stay unhealthy. It gets to me so much because I recognize myself in all those teens struggling with their body complexes and rules they've set up for themselves. I wanna thank the creator of this film and the whole cast for making this movie and showing the world, in a realistic and understandable way, how an eating disorder works and that you will not get helped by yourself when you're ill. Someone needs to get the help for you, even how old you are. Cause you won't ever see the issue yourself without someone's help.
As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder for years I have to say this movie is extremely accurate. In no way does it glamorize mental illness, it does an amazing job showing the realities of having an eating disorder. I think this film is very good for young girls to watch.
The movie was so good and rlly enlightened me bout what it's rlly like going through something like that. I have a friend going through an ed and I want to help them all that I can and now that I understand it a bit about how hard it is I can help hopefully more.
I hate when people say something about a film or tv show and they havent even seen it people always find something to bitch about!!! she went through it and shes shedding a light on it so people can understand!!!
Love Lily Collins 🦋💙
