What is wrong with the producers of TV series, and films for that matter. Is the tabacco industry paying them for this? I turned the movie off at the second cigarette that came into view. Utterly disgusting to still make hidden advertisement for a product that ruins peoples lives. Also that was only a couple of minutes in, I had to endure no less than three porno graphic scenes in that short period of time. I am not talking about a kiss, or a "and then they went to bed" suggestion that has value with regards to the plot, no - orgasms, with all the sound that goes with them. Anyway, rated 1 for not being able to watch more than a few minutes and especially putting smoking people in a 2023 movie as if it a normal thing.

Seriously, this is the sickest movie I've seen in a long time. It is art however - as, for obvious reasons, the makers of the movie do not share the ideas and ideals of the characters in the movie. They are showing a world were a collective insanity reins. Where the unthinkable has become the new normal.

There are a few statements made about this new world, like that people do no longer feel pain, but that is just a necessity for the story that is being told be acceptable - that is, not unacceptable for other reasons than that society has embraced norms and values that are completely alien to our own.

I watched this movie with interest. It is a movie, with characters and a plot, but for me it was mainly interesting as if it was a documentary. The movie was made by a teenage who went through this and therefore gives a genuine look inside a hospital were (mainly, in this case) anorexia is being treated. How is the day-to-day life for such children? Although informative, this movie is, in my opinion, in no way a propaganda movie for this treatment. Don't show it to your kid that you feel has similar problems. At best it may convince parents about just how serious and difficult the disease is. If you have, or know, a child with this problem then watching this movie might teach you that this is really a very difficult and serious condition that they can't recover from with professional help and for which the child is not to blame. Likewise, if you kid is bullying a child with this disease then maybe too could help them to understand; although I doubt that, bullies are sick themselves and probably need something more before they can change...
