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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lily is a great actor!!

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

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.

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.

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.

she is so well spoken. so much respect for her.

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 :)

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❤️

I was seriously anorexic and this movie isn’t glamorizing at all. It shows the horrific realities and the pain that people went through.

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 ❤️

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

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.

she’s amazing, she isn’t glamorising it she’s trying to get the word out. how awful eating disorders are

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.

Beautifully said. She's so eloquent 💕

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!

This movie made me cry.. I loved it so much

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.

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

This woman is gold.

as recovering this is a God Sent movie. A good eye opening for us who are recovering.

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.

Thank you for doing this role and respecting the character you play!! Kudos ❤

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)

just watched this brilliantly made film. took my breath away.

Who agrees there needs to be a sequel??

the movie was incredible..I cried so much during it oh god

Love Lily Collins 🦋💙

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....💕

I just watched the movie so as a viewer, I feel like I have to say this movie is about HEALING.

still wishing that they would bring the TMI movies back .. Love her

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

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.

My favorite actriz. And she's so adorable

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.

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!

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

Shes so graceful omg

I loved this movie so much, i chose it completely randomly one day and it was so good.

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

Lily is amazing

I watched this on Netflix and it was AMAZING!!

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!

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.

I admire Lily immensely

I really love Lily Collins, and I know the movie was not meant to glamorise Ed’s, but it was right after watching the movie that I developed anorexia. It really triggered me, because I was struggling with body image, and then when I saw all those tricks, well I just decided to try them. Worst decision of my life. Eating desorders are no good, they destroy your personality and strenght as a human being, they make you loose hope in life, because you think you find happiness once you loose the weight, but that is B.S., because your body is not who makes you happy, your mindset is. So, to conclude, if you have an e.d., maybe not the best movie to watch, and if you don’t but struggle with body image, see it and remember that being “skinny” won’t make you happier, and that Food will never hurt as much as an E.D.

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.

Love what Alex Sharp had to say at 1:45

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.

i love lily so much aw

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?

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 ❤️

if anyone makes a movie about audrey hepburn, CAST LILY AS AUDREY. PERIODT.

Lily is sooo pretty and talented! 😍😍

She's the most beautiful person on earth 💜

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.

I love Lily Collins so much

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 love the film and the character Luke was amazing.

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

so well spoken, eloquent, intelligent and wise as always
