Troian knows exactly how to show us what is like.. her acting is perfect, from the perfect girl she is acting, at the problematic girl.Her scene in front of the therapist, when she was fighting her "brother" and at the same time she was saying the truth was so moving ! It also shows us how cold some parents can be. I find that lousing weight is a very popular subject in 2017, and a lot of girl get eating disorder, some scenes in " Feed " can relate the situation they are getting in.

If you saw this movie's trailer and was like oh that's pure horror.. like many many of my friends.. don't judge it yet watch the movie it's very interesting and eye opening to so many issues and the best thing is the decent acting of Troian Bellisario who did a wonderful job, the story itself is amazing it holds a lot of realistic aspects and that's what makes it even better and the respect that the movie showed for anorexia is what made me fall in love with it although you witness a challenging heartbreaking experience you will have better understanding to these issues that a lot of people go through.

Personifying the ED voice is exactly the tangible concept so many people who do not understand eating disorders needed to see in order to get a glimpse into the eerie, dark world or anorexia. Bellisario is the first person I've ever known to be able to articulate, from a sufferers perspective, what it is to have anorexia. She did it without sensationalizing, glamorizing, or glorifying it. I am 1 1/2 yrs into recovery and watched it without being triggered but rather with such empathy and hope that non-sufferers could finally get a small glimpse into the world of anorexia. I agree with another reviewer that stated Feed should be the movie that is getting national attention as THIS movie is more true to the nature of the illness. Brilliantly done Troian Bellisario!! Standing ovation! I truly hope this film gets the recognition it so rightly deserves.

As a person recovering from anorexia, I have to say that this is the BEST eating disorder movie that I have seen. It's such a shame that it came out so closely to To The Bone, because Feed is the movie that needs to be getting all the mainstream attention, not TTB. Feed does a wonderful job of portraying what living with an eating disorder is like without romanticizing the disorder or throwing out unnecessary behaviors. Of course as an eating disorder movie it has the potential to be triggering to eating disorder sufferers, but I think that they handled everything extremely well so that everything is as realistic as possible while still being as little triggering as possible. I think it was an AMAZING connection of how they portrayed Olivia's eating disorder as her deceased twin brother. That is EXACTLY what an eating disorder is! A trusted voice that you can't even see the harm in because you find so much comfort in it. The eating disorder was so incredibly hard for Olivia to let go of because letting go of it was also letting go of her brother. AMAZING. Perfect portrayal of what an eating disorder is like. I also loved how the focus was not on Olivia's weight loss or behaviors or body or anything. It focused on the root of the disorder, which is the part that everyone can relate to. Everyone's disorder is different because of different behaviors or body types or whatever, but we can all relate to the dangerous voice in our head disguised as a comforting friend. This movie did everything right. I cannot praise this movie enough. 10000000/10 and beyond for sure.
