Sure.

Does she still post on her LJ

[2_on]

She deleted it a long time ago. Does anyone remember what the username was? There were some screencaps floating around.

Something garden. Dreaming in the garden or something

like her twitter/IG...she had some, er, interesting thoughts there

[weareglorious]

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.

[spellgabbana]

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

I can't wait to watch this. I liked Keegan's post about the movie/Troian, but I'm on my phone so I can't embed it.

unless it's implicit, some talk but not show business, anorexia movies should just not be made imo

I feel like this is the best portrayal of it I've seen, but definitely. I think it's a subject best not portrayed visually.
