ED movies with ratings by me- part 2 <3
once again I've tried not to have spoilers but for the trigger rating there may be couple of plot reveals, but I’ve kept it to a minimum.
My skinny sister- This is a classic I think and honestly I think its better then too the bone (don’t come after me I still love Ellen). Its set from the perspective of Stella who watches as her sister Katya pushes herself further and further to become better and in doing so develops very severe anorexia.
Trigger rating- 8/10, shows her sister purging, over-exercising and very underweight
Cringe- 2/10, it was reasonably realistic but it had all the eating disorder stereotypes, underweight, white, teen, active, female and it had a weird romantic interest between stella and katyas figure skating coach.
Overall- 8/10, its a good movie and I recommend watching it if you haven’t already.
Perfect body- This movie isn’t as triggering as most, but it still has a good eating disorder plot line. In my opinion based of the other movie ratings I’ve done this is more of a classic comfort movie. Its based on a teenage girl who gets a shot at training for the Olympics. Her coach pressures her to loose weight and she gets addicted to the feeling of being lighter. This movie has good style and the main actress does a good job.
Trigger rating- 3/10, she skips meals, there’s an accident, there’s purging
Cringe- 3/10, once again this movie has all the ED stereotypes
Overall-6/10, its a good movie to relax and still get the classic skinny vibe
Starving in Suburbia/Thinsperation- If you ever want to trigger yourself, this one is for you. It shows a dancer the comes across a pro ana website take on a challenge to loose a large amount of weight in a very short period of time. In doing so she pushes away family and doesn’t realise that she’s not the only one with a problem...
Trigger rating- 8/10, There’s pro ana content, bullying, death, she gets very skinny, you’ll know what I mean by triggering if you watch it
Cringe- 3/10, she’s quite dramatic and I think its a bit over played her reaction, most people with eating disorders hide it away and turn it into fuel for more self hating
Overall- 8/10, Almost nothing triggers me more then this (out of all the movies).
Hunger point- This is another film set from the perspective of a girl who’s sister is severely anorexic, both were brought up in a household were being fat was a bad thing and both girls had body image issues until the sister went to far. She ends up in a psychiatric ward with other people suffering form eating disorders.
Trigger rating- 9/10, There’s overdose, feeding tubes, self harm, death, very skinny emaciated girls, pro ana content
Cringe- 2/10, The family was very unsupportive towards her anorexia, despite being the people that created the body dismorphia and self hatred in both of them.
Overall- 8/10, don’t watch this on youtube, watch it on Veoh (the sound quality is way better). I liked this movie a lot and I think the ending was fitting, although it was very sad
Let me know if you guys want part 3
