To the Bone

To the Bone (2017) is a drama by Marty Noxon you can watch online on iFILM. Twenty-year-old Ellen is fighting anorexia, and the usual clinics have stopped working for her.

Ellen (Lily Collins) counts every calorie, refuses food, and drives her family to the edge. They place her in a group home run by Dr. Beckham (Keanu Reeves), where six other patients live and the doctor treats without lectures or false cheer. Nothing about recovery is guaranteed. Ellen has to decide whether she even wants to stay alive, and to figure out how to share a roof with others wrestling the same illness.

Director Marty Noxon drew on her own history with an eating disorder, and so did Collins; the actress lost noticeable weight for the part under medical supervision. It's a heavy but honest look at a condition people too often brush off. Stream To the Bone (2017) online on iFILM.
