Poor acting and a muddied plot are the least of this contentious Netflix drama's problems.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 23, 2021

Marti Noxon's dramedy falls prey to the old AF story of wise male savior rescuing troubled girl.

| Feb 26, 2021

To the Bone is a phenomenal film because it confronts the pain endured by those with eating disorders and doesn't hide it.

To the Bone will provide inspiration that is only one click away.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 16, 2019

A laudable, affecting piece of drama that could prove useful for any viewer struggling at the moment, whether with an eating disorder or any other mental health issue.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 17, 2019

Noxon's film is scarily realistic and worms its way under your skin. Collins is excellent as Ellen but I was very, very uncomfortable watching her (and by my own unexpected desire to know the numbers at Ellen's every weigh-in).

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 28, 2018

It is a credit to Noxon and the cast that To the Bone works as well as it does, considering the delicate subject matter.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 3, 2018

IN no way does this movie glamourise anorexia or thinness; it is clear about Ellen's struggles, and also shows how an eating disorder can change a family dynamic and disrupt lives of the patient and those around her. Still, it's funny, sly and moving.

Lily Collins in particular delivers a strong performance and the supporting cast is wonderful.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 14, 2018

Director James Mangold saved the best for last with this uncompromising, brutal and heartfelt story of a fallen hero stumbling to get back up again.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 8, 2018

The only thing more interesting than watching how someone turns into a superhero is seeing them lose that power.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 8, 2018

A good movie about an important topic, but it peters out a bit at the end. We care about Ellen and we wish her well. But, it would have been more interesting to watch her get well.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 1, 2017

A missed opportunity despite a remarkable Lily Collins. [Full review in Spanish]

The story of Ellen won't be everyone's story, but it is still effectively wielded to shed a harsh light on the way we seek to ascribe meaning to the illnesses of others.

Movies take us anywhere we want to go. But movies can also take us places we need to go, even though we'd rather not. That's the space Marti Noxon's directorial debut, To the Bone, lives in.

| Sep 7, 2017

While To The Bone's dramatic strength lies in its first-hand immediacy, the meandering tale fails to engage.

| Sep 6, 2017

. . .the plot veers into romance and gets derailed as Ellen attracts the attention of Luke (Alex Sharp), a dancer with a career-ending injury.

| Aug 28, 2017

Through conspicuous examples and only slightly stilted exposition, To the Bone educates us on the ins and outs of the diagnosis.

| Aug 6, 2017

Ultimately , To The Bone is the kind of film that will either resonate with you deeply or not even register.

| Aug 4, 2017

To The Bone had the chance to inspire understanding of anorexia, but ended up being a disappointment.
