"To the Bone"

I was expecting a dark, depressing take on eating disorders, but this movie really wasn't. Lilly Collins did a great job as a 20-year old girl in treatment for anorexia nervosa. She's been in and out of various programs all her teen years and finally gets into one of the most effective clinics in the country. She comes from a dysfunctional family, which largely explains her illness.  I found it interesting the way eating disorders are treated much like alcohol and substance abuse cases. Very well done and worth watching.
3.5 out of 5 stars
