Little Miss Perfect

I've only ever written a couple of reviews but I had to write it for this!

This is the worst acting ever EVER seen! Terrible storyline aside, the main actress is absolutely shocking and if I hear just one more word she says go up at the end I'm gonna scream!

Couldn't even make it to halfway thru before I had to pull the plug!

If you want to see eating disorder films done right, there are WAY better examples!

I do NOT understand the ppl who have given this great reviews.... Did you sleep thru it?

It's brutally bad!

Do NOT BOTHER watching this!

"I'm not dumb enough to starve myself and think that's going to bring my mommy back, or something!"

Eating disorders are controversial. A plot about good girl choosing not to eat than talk about her feelings disappoints in raising the stereotype of eating disorders, but succeeds to show the frustration of someone without an eating disorder who must bear to watch a loved one (or peer) who does. Compelling cinematography, given that our main character is a young, bright, and well-off girl enduring her creeping doom.

When I first saw this movie I was so excited, I heard good things. While watching it though I was so confused because I felt like I've seen it before. My sister then pointed out that it was basically the "Starving in Suburbia" movie. What a RIP off! I PAID to watch this. Ugh girls save your time. It's nothing new and it's just frustrating

OK, this film maybe a depiction of a TINY fraction of one or two people people but its very overused and generic, and nowhere near gives the disorder the complexity it deserves. I'm sorry but this is another cliché film - that doesn't go deep enough to raise real awareness - I mean please you don't see thinspo twice and suddenly put down your pop tart, two, these parents are over dramatised cliché of neglectful/self-important, like the other 8 or so ed films I've seen. There is way more going on in a sufferers head than the superficial stuff shown here. I really really don't know how this got nominated and won stuff - other than because it was judged by people who know little about the reality of the disorder. If I wanted someone to understand an eating disorder I would tell them to run from this film. My short maybe small budget and not as large scale but its done a hell of a better job than this in it's feedback - no wonder mental health awareness is all wonky. Either make the awareness film accurately and properly or not at all.

When I first viewed the trailer, I pictured this movie as an amateur take on something very serious, that would gloss over the harsh truth of give a 'feel-good' 'this couldn't happen to you' idea to the viewer. I was very wrong.

This movie, that not only contains beautiful acting from everyone, amazingly crafted dialogue and realistic characters, touches very deeply on a matter that affects so many young girls today.

The movie deeply analyses what might push someone over the edge and that might send them down the rabbit hole, surprisingly gown trying to gain control. The movie not only highlights the dangers, socially, mentally and physically of getting involved with 'thinspiration' posts and 'pro-ana', but also creates a dark atmosphere that creates the question 'could that be me?' or 'could that happen to someone I love?'

It's an overall must watch for anyone any age, but especially for young girls.
