Watch Feed For Free

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Olivia and Matthew Grey are 18-year-old twins born into a world of privilege and high expectations. There are almost no boundaries between them; even their dreams are connected. To be honest i'm not the biggest Tom Felton fan but this film throws his talent completely out of the window pretty early on in the movie. The leading girl Olivia (Troian Bellisario) starts having all those weird visions of him and after a while she eventually starts having eating disorder and the film in general goes from one thing to another without explaining everything. The romance between Olivia and Ben Winchell who was also in the Max Steel reboot from last year felt so forced and went nowhere after a while, the visions weren't as dramatic as they might have hoped and the 2 leading stars don't look like 18 to me no offense. I was expecting an indie drama with great performances but what i got was a boring, slow burn film with a bunch of bad performances, a forced romance and actors that don't even look like eighteen. (0/10)

Personifying the ED voice is exactly the tangible concept so many people who do not understand eating disorders needed to see in order to get a glimpse into the eerie, dark world or anorexia. Bellisario is the first person I've ever known to be able to articulate, from a sufferers perspective, what it is to have anorexia. She did it without sensationalizing, glamorizing, or glorifying it. I am 1 1/2 yrs into recovery and watched it without being triggered but rather with such empathy and hope that non-sufferers could finally get a small glimpse into the world of anorexia. I agree with another reviewer that stated Feed should be the movie that is getting national attention as THIS movie is more true to the nature of the illness. Brilliantly done Troian Bellisario!! Standing ovation! I truly hope this film gets the recognition it so rightly deserves.

It's hard not to review this film without comparing it to To the Bone, due to them tackling the same subject matter and coming out so close to one another. But watching To the Bone first really enabled me to put my finger on what it was I liked so much about this film, and why it was so different to other portrayals of anorexia I've seen. It really allowed you to get into the mind of the sufferer, and drove home the fact that it is more than just not eating, that it is all consuming and that it becomes your reality. Where I saw To the Bone as a kind of surface level exploration of the disease and the way it's perceived by others, that ultimately added nothing much to what people already know about it, you can see that Feed was created with the sole intention of allowing people to empathise and understand this condition more. It let us get into the mind of the individual rather than just watch them, and not once did I feel as if it was used as a plot device or a quirk to drive another story.Anorexia never had to even be said out loud, and yet we saw it through Liv's visions of her brother, who I suppose is the physical incarnation of the voice that an individual hears. The way it was done was very clever, and less obvious. The whole thing was beautifully shot, acted and written. Lastly, I thought the ending was very, very realistic and true to how an individual with an ED really moves on with their life, and the nature of recovery.

What an amazing performance and script showcasing our inner demons and battles. Troian brought a different light into inner struggles and hopefully, this movie will bring more awareness and less taboo about mental illness. Watching movies like these is what makes you feel more comfortable about speaking your truth and finally bringing a new perspective and openness towards battles a lot more people than we would like to admit, deal with. Definitely an amazing debut for Troian Bellisario as screenwriter and producer.
