If you enjoyed 13 reasons why, you'll love this. Its totally unrealistic. It seems as if it was stolen from a tumblr blog. The difference between something like this and 13 reasons why, is that I can suspend my disbelief for 13 reasons why, and then feel engaged in character drama. With this movie, even suspending my disbelief, it couldn't make up for awful writing, stereotypical characters, and a plot line that is literally nonexistent. Its like a a D rated version of Girl, Interrupted. And I loved that movie. 6/10 for no plot line, predictable characters, cringe dialogue, damn near grazing over the topic of the movie itself- ANOREXIA, making it seem normal. Its not normal. It literally takes over peoples lives like, every second of the day you're thinking of what you are or didn't eat or how to burn more calories. Ellen/Eli spits her food out and its almost a gag, she does sit ups by her bed and it seems like regular exercise, she runs to a restaurant and once again, it's made into a joke. I love jokes about topics like these, but there wasn't enough light shed on anorexia for the jokes to be warranted as comedic relief. It was stale.
