To the Bone

• Drama

A visually arresting drama, *To the Bone* charts the intensely private and isolating experience of a young artist battling anorexia nervosa, diverging from typical depictions of eating disorders by prioritizing the internal landscape of obsession and control. The film’s strength lies in its unflinching yet sensitive portrayal of the protagonist’s fractured perception of self, mirrored in her artwork, and the unsettling, darkly humorous dynamic she develops with a psychiatrist who employs radical and unconventional methods. It's a story less about recovery as a destination and more about the difficult, messy work of learning to *live* with a condition that fundamentally alters one's relationship with the body and the world, portraying a desperate curiosity about genuine connection amidst a relentless pursuit of thinness.
