Parachute

The elements are there but this is a bad lifetime movie. It's made for people who believe that they are the center of the universe. It's not realistic. Let's stop telling young women that this is reality. No dude will ever be worth your life or your health. If he's asking for all that from you dump him. If YOU are asking for all that from you there are therapists everywhere. Value your mind, value the freedom it can offer you, and only let in people who support that man or woman. Stop watching badly written crap like this. Cast was full of good actors, script was toilet paper. Shame on the writer(s). I'm assuming it was a focus group turd.

The movie should come with trigger warnings for body dysmorphia and eating disorders. Although Brittany Snow does a wonderful job of representing them, the theme might be too much to deal with for some people.

Okay, now that put aside, the performances in the movie were so beautiful. This kind of theme was elegantly depicted and to think that it was a directional debut certainly shows so much promise. Despite the erratic pacing and passage of time generally thrown at the audience through exposition, after a momentary whiplash, the scene brings you right back into it. I really loved character development of Riley and Nathan and even the minor characters for that matter. The movie did a wonderful job of showing both, what people suffering from mental illness go through and what people who care for them go through. Kudos.

Its very rare to find a film that does realness right, even to the very end. This film is incredibly relatable whether you've experience BD or not. It does a great job portraying the randomness and awkwardness of life as well as our obnoxious tendencies to self sabatoge. The cast was wonderful. You easily fall in love with the main characters.

I wish Hollywood would get its act together and fund about 100 more films like this one. If we had more movies like this, instead of the cookie cutter, coming of age or romcom films, teens and young adults would grow up much better adjusted.

Very much looking forward to more of Brittany Snow's work. She has an incredibly bright future.

This movie was good and the main actresses performance was brilliant. I liked the subject matter and liked the idea that the movie wasn't linear because healing isn't linear but there were also many plot holes that could've been filled and weren't. How did riley's dad die? Why is her mother the way she is? Why did she respond the way she did to ethan? Did he enable her? These are all questions I feel are unanswered. Raw and emotional but was lacking some substance. Overall, this movie is one i'd recommend but don't totally love. I think if some things were switched it would've reached its full potential.

Wow, this movie was really amazing and I am extremely picky. I am not good at writing reviews, but I know when the movie is good or bad, and this was a very good movie, not only did I love the subject matter, it felt so raw and so real, and I could actually identify with it, even though I don't have these particular issues, but some people Can feel this way, I have. It can be all consuming, and I love the camera work, the plot the directorial debut by Brittany Snow. The music was impeccable, thank God I was able to use Shazam for some of these songs. But more over this film had some of the best acting, but only by three people, Courtney Thomas and Dave. Who would've thought Dave would be a great actor? I am so impressed. This young lady is going far and of course Thomas already has a flourishing career. The supporting cast was good, but these three really stole the show, well the two main characters Stole the show. Please Hollywood make more movies like this. So touching and emotional and so beautifully well done.
