Thin

It's an eye opening look into the in-patient care of women facing ED. I don't think the psychology tactics of the staff aged well, specifically when staff called 3 patients in together to tattle on each other and then called 2 of them back in together to give more details (felt more Mean Girls than professional help). It's easy for the viewer to connect emotionally with each of the women. By the end I was in tears for each one of them. I just wish ED docs shed light on why some people get ED. There's a wide range of reasons that extend beyond just wanting to be "thin".

This movie is very truthful. I would recommend everyone to see it especially younger women and girls. Im overweight myself but do not feel the same way some of these girls do. It is amazing to see how obsessive they are and the lengths they will go to..... It made a very strong impression on me and my friends. It is weird how far these women and girls will go to just to see themselves as thin. My friends are skinny at 110 pounds but some of these women reach 30 pounds lighter than that. I think some parents have a lot to do with the problems. The movie shows that. People can influence you in a good way or a bad way. In this movie there are even cliques. Its like high school in a hospital.

The big thing for me is, sure it's a good documentary, but it is one, super triggering and two, lots of people at Renfrew are average or above average weight, seeing as Renfrew deals with all eating disorders. Just saying, this is a huge blanket and not as accurate as it could be. It was very good. The only complaint is the huge Stereo type blanket of All girls with eating disorders are severely underweight. Yeah, that is NOT TRUE AT ALL. But I'm glad most recovered as far as I know. Why do you have to have freaking ten lines?! Um, also, the movie painted it kinda hopelessly, which is also, thankfully inaccurate. Yeah.

This documentary has opened my eyes, if you are even slightly interested in the way these people live their lives and what are their problems, this documentary will help you get in their world for an hour or two. To everyone who thinks you can be addicted and mentally ruined by drugs only, this is the movie for you to be proven wrong!

One of the best documentaries of last year. If you know anyone who has an eating disorder, then this film will give you a clear insight into their behavior, and also into treatment facilities, and why they fail.

I am so against the behavior-based practices of facilities like the one depicted in this movie. They are so about rules and really do not get into the whys. You will leave this film at the end not having any more understanding of why someone would exist on 200 calories a day, than you did in the beginning.

It is no wonder that most go back to their behaviors when they leave. No one addressed the inner demons. It is all "Just Say NO," and we know how that works on the drug problem or keeping teens from having sex.

You can't help feeling sorry for these girls. You know they are destined to continue in their hell.

Thank you, Lauren Greenfield, for introducing us to them.
