This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. **TW** Whether the creators realize it or not, they end up glorifying eating disorders. What's meant to be shock value to scare people away from eating disorders ends up just showing triggering imagery and ends up as "th*nspo" edits. It also shows ways people with eating disorders use to lose weight in a manner that comes off as very casual which is triggering. It enables viewers of the movie with eating disorders to do the same without realizing it. It has a terrible portrayal of anorexia, making it seem as if only skinny white girls can have it. There are two characters who suffer from eating disorders who aren't a skinny white girl out of six characters, one of them being a plus sized black woman and the other being a skinny white man. They present Ellen's treatment of pushing her to the brink of death as the only correct way to treat her. They also make it seem like fatness is the issue of the root of all eating disorders when the characters admit that the reason they started disordered eating was so they wouldn't be fat and die at 30 which isn't okay and I shouldn't have to explain why.… Expand
