Yeah. The trailer screwed up. But the movie didn't. I am not saying this is by any means, a perfect movie. It isn't. And I do think in my own personal opinion that this film does sometimes takes a not so right turns as it takes right turns.Yeah. The trailer screwed up. But the movie didn't. I am not saying this is by any means, a perfect movie. It isn't. And I do think in my own personal opinion that this film does sometimes takes a not so right turns as it takes right turns. But, what this film should be admired for is its cast's acting, the way its shot, its direction, and its utmost effort to tackle such a difficult subject matter the best way possible. Give this film a try people, it's an interesting watch. It's made with and from people who suffered eating disorders themselves. It's way better handled than bloody 13 Reasons Why at the least.… Expand

Lily Collins turns in quite a committed performance both physically and acting-wise. Overall, yes it often times felt like a made-for-TV/Lifetime film (it is a Netflix original after all), but its honest and unflinching portrayal of the subject matter in as mature of a way as possible (although there are still some fun moments to be found throughout here and there to keep things from getting too dark), as well as Lily Collins' more than worthwhile performance makes it worth a watch for those who aren't too easily triggered by some of the depictions of eating disorders found in the film.… Expand

"To the bone" was a very good film, with some very good interpretations, and an issue that touches the youth and the psychology of today, the problem of anorexia and bulimia, this was a moving and inspiring story.

I thought that it made a harsh topic somehow interesting to watch with the humour from Noxon. It was lough out loud funny at times and also dark and depressing. Collins performance was raw and i could relate to Ellen at some points.

The subject of eating disorders is approached with all seriousness, without exaggeration or sentimentality, so that it seems almost documented. It is the most that could be appreciated, and especially the performances.

Although I have never suffered seriously with an eating disorder and cannot vouch if it a accurate representation of a clinic I was enthralled with the journey. It follows a young teenage girl ad her struggles with anorexia nervosa. It tackles love, loss, stigma and misconceptions. Considering it tackles such a sensitive and potentially triggering issue I found it funny and lighthearted throughout and all the deepest parts were handled with care and attention. I feel educated after watching the film and really felt the emotion she was going through. I rarely feel so connected to a character but it was acted and scripted beautifully.… Expand

"To the Bone" é um retrato realista, honesto e, por vezes, incómodo sobre a luta individual contra os distúrbios alimentares e um ótimo estudo da sua protagonista. Collins é uma ótima atriz.
