In my opinion (no spoilers):
The Good -
1) Did not glamorize it like To The Bone
2) Never a sense of comedy
3) Ending that is very true to recovery
4) Focus was not on food, but on control
5) Really showed the ED voice in the painful truth
6) Showed treatment as terrifying as it really is

The Bad -
1) Toooo many shots of Troian's body. Will definitely trigger people
2) I felt too much blame was put on her family, even though that is a common stressor for many with EDs.

If anyone wants to ask/PM any questions/concerns they have about watching, please feel free.

And Troian isn't even as skinny as Lilly Collins. She showed up shirtless on PLL a few times and she's thin but looks healthy.

I mean there are scenes where Troian had to lose weight for that are so intense. One scene in particular, I needed to look away because it was too much, but definitely, overall I found Lily to be more triggering.

do you think it was enhanced with makeup, effects, etc, or just weight loss?

[weareglorious]

I'd definitely say enhanced by makeup and hopefully by effects too.

good. well, not good but i just hate thinking she had to lose any dramatic amount of weight, even if she seems to be in a much better place now.
