Feed (2017)

Troian Bellisario is a main character in the hit TV series pretty little liars which where most people know her best from although most people don't that she herself struggled with an eating disorder for years which is why this movie if so personal. To be honest before watching this i knew hardly anything about eating disorders but afterwards I had a desire to know more. Olivia Baker takes you through her fascinating journey of struggling with an eating disorder after the death of her twin brother Matt. This movie will at times have you feeling emotional, angry, frustrated, relieved and happy all at once. It is by far one of the most realistic movies about eating disorders there is. I cannot fault the acting of the characters in Feed as their acting skillls were impeccable, i felt what they felt and as Olivia cried I cried. I would definitely recommend this movie to a friend

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.

I really enjoyed this movie. I felt the acting and writing were both very well done - the story really took you with her into her world and descent into what manifested as her eating disorder (which is why I think the falling metaphor is used throughout) and the struggle to try and climb back up. I felt the relationship with her twin brother and the use of his character to illustrate her fall was well executed. I did have a bit of a struggle with their relationship at times. There were glimpses of something more, almost incest, but you know that is just from her mind so was there something to that potential story line? He seemed very angry with her at the party when he saw her with her boyfriend - more so than I would think would come from a 'protective brother' anger and I was left with that question, unanswered by the movie. Was he that angry because there were feelings of closeness that went beyond 'normal' between siblings or was it something else? I also was left with a few questions about Casey's character - similar to those another reviewer already mentioned. Still, I enjoyed the movie very much. I thought the ending was well done and true to struggles with ED or and other mental disorders, such as depression/anxiety. There's no quick fix or "cure" - there is always a struggle of some form.

Never have I seen such a heartbreaking, eye-opening, beautiful film. Troian Bellisario's acting is just simply incredible, each scene very real and raw. The script is just fantastic, Troian is very brave to put this story out there especially with it being so personal to her. This film will make you feel many emotions and left me sobbing by the end. Have watched it multiple times since it was released and I can not stop thinking about it. I would highly recommend anyone to watch this masterpiece!!
