This was a fantastic and visceral response. I agree with most of what you say is wrong about the movie after having watched it myself- even though the portrayal of a person with the disorder is realistic in many ways, that doesn’t necessarily mean the images need to be put on the screen. I really appreciate your push for more responsible film making. I am working on a piece giving my own opinions on To the Bone that I plan on posting up on Monday, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it when it goes up!
