really good ed shows and movies!!
To The Bone- 20 year old Ellen goes impatient after her family is worried she will die. It’s very funny, and full of dark humor. This one is very powerful.
Disfigured- an anorexic and a binge eater become friends and look at life
Red Band Society- a character, Emma, has anorexia. The show is discontinued though :(
Little Miss Perfect- The main character develops an ED from the stresses of school and academics.
Feed- After her brother’s death, the main character falls into anorexia. This one is very powerful.
The Karen Carpenter Story- The story of Karen Carpenter.
Best Little Girl in the World- A family deals with their daughter suffering from anorexia.
Skins- Cassie from Skins suffers from anorexia.
Glee- Marley Rose from Glee suffers bulimia after another student manipulates her.
Kate’s Secret- The main character navigates bulimia, inpatient.
Starving in Suburbia- The main character becomes anorexic after finding promotion about it online.
Thin- It’s a documentary about Renfrew and the girls inside.
Dying to Dance- It’s a dance show with anorexic characters.
Dance Academy- Another dance show(really good though) with an anorexic and bulimic character.
Perfect Body- A gymnast suffers with anorexia.
My Skinny Sister- A story about a little sister finding out about her older sisters bulimia.
Spinning Out- It only mentions an anorexic girl, but I still recommend this bc it’s a really good show and has other great portrayals of mental health, like bipolar.
Many of these are really powerful, really accurate, and also have good thinspo scenes!! (because, lets be honest, we watch for the thinspo and triggering)
