[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this movie going to be a bad idea for someone with or recovering from an eating disorder?  Quick feedback much appreciated.[/quote]

there is nothing specifically triggering about movie if you’d go see another movie starring margot robbie looking beautiful. there is a mention of cellulite but it’s not tied to food and happens more as a spontaneous outbreak like chicken pox or something. there is not much focus on body size otherwise. obviously the women are thin and glamorous.

My DD has a history of ED and I'm pretty worried about her seeing it.  There are so many very thin beautiful women in it, and although one of the film's messages is an implicit criticism of a culture where women are valued for being thin and conventionally beautiful, I'm suspect the mere appearance of all these women will make DD feel upset about her weight.  And the cellulite jokes in the movie make clear that having cellulite is considered undesirable and gross.   So while I really enjoyed the movie, but I do wonder if it will be triggering for my DD (same as any movie that features a lot of beautiful thin women).   [/quote]
