I give this movie four stars. In this society that preaches "being thin or dead", being fat seems to be a mistake. I hope there will be more movies to guide the correct aesthetics. Why didn't you give five stars? Because it is a pity, the film does not dig into the psychological barriers of people with eating disorders, nor does it give a way to get rid of eating disorders. I am not against those who say that movies are boring, because they have never felt the same way. This is their luck. And I cried when I watched it. Ellen was so thin that he counted calories, exercised frantically, and measured the dimensions of his arms. He knew that his body had issued a warning, but he smiled when he lost his weight. Ellen knew that something was wrong, but couldn't stop. The family didn't understand why Ellen became like this. but I know. Because Ellen is too conceited and too inferior. Because Ellen feels that controlling his diet means controlling his life, which is the pleasure of overcoming the pain he brings. Because Ellen felt that no one would like Ellen if it weren't for the thin, beautiful and good Ellen. Who can help Ellen? Psychologist? Ellen received a lot of psychotherapy, but they all failed. Admirer? Luke fell in love with Ellen and tried to get Ellen to eat, but failed. family? Ellen's mother, stepmother, and sister care about her, but still can't help her. Ellen made a cocoon for herself, a cocoon that only she could break. I want to say to Ellens, and I want to say to myself: Don't expect someone to save you, only you can save yourself. Let go of yourself, weight is not the subject of life. Even if the whole world doesn't like you, you must like yourself!

    Before I watched it, I subconsciously thought it was a documentary. Lily Collins was so thin for the movie. It's interesting to talk about anorexia, although the reasons are multiple: the father doesn't care about the mother's coming out and the stepmother doesn't blend in with the painting as a vent and was asked to stop. But only oneself can be solved. In the final analysis, it is a psychological problem. If you don't have the determination to change yourself, you will just feel annoying no matter how much others say.

    This is the first time I've seen a movie with this theme. I don't know why I especially like to watch this kind of movie with actors reduced to perverted thinness, such as Bell's "The Mechanic". When I first saw it, I thought he was very cute. It belongs to the cute and beautiful little Gongju who is white and sensual. This time, he really broke through the human body shape, and his demeanor also changed. In addition to being thin, he also had a hunched back and a very empty and dick appearance. Laying on the sand naked is the largest scale since his debut. It is also very memorable to be able to record the lowest point of his weight with a movie. Keanu is really old, his eyes are drooping and his face is slack, but the way of acting is still the same! The expressions and body movements are still the same Lily and Liana have collaborated again since "Trapped in Love"! Liana's body and looks are my favorite. In fact, if Lily in the movie is like a normal body, she will be no different from a female star or a supermodel. Photography is a lot of static compositions. The current machine is really good. ISO estimation The night vision is so high that it feels so good. The rhythm is not rushed and it is the director's bitter tears.
