Lindsey Rae Very good documentary, thorough and shows the deep dark side of eating disorders and what these people will do in order to keep feeding their mental disorder while at the same time so desperate to get better and leave a healthier and better person.It's kind of interesting though how seriously immature these women are. Clique-y and just very high school like. I think that Shelly's mom should leave anyone's weight, including her daughter's(besides getting healthy), out of their conversations. Asking her daughter if she thinks so and so is big is just really immature and shows major insecurity. Hope these women are doing better.

crystalrosen23 The big thing for me is, sure it's a good documentary, but it is one, super triggering and two, lots of people at Renfrew are average or above average weight, seeing as Renfrew deals with all eating disorders. Just saying, this is a huge blanket and not as accurate as it could be. It was very good. The only complaint is the huge Stereo type blanket of All girls with eating disorders are severely underweight. Yeah, that is NOT TRUE AT ALL. But I'm glad most recovered as far as I know. Why do you have to have freaking ten lines?! Um, also, the movie painted it kinda hopelessly, which is also, thankfully inaccurate. Yeah.

Mia Flanagan Lauren Greenfield's documentary gave a great view inside of eating disorder treatment facilities, and the lives of the people who need them. Although it did not inform the audience of how eating disorders develop, or how the main subjects got to Renfrew, the treatment facility that the film focuses on, that somehow aided Greenfield in eliminating any bias that may have come out if it had been directed by by someone else. Greenfield also opts to not use any voice overs, and she only interviews the patients, if anyone. I thought this was especially bold, allowing for the footage of the patients lives in the center to speak for themselves, as opposed to swaying the audience's view through a voice over. After watching this film, however, I have started to question the validity of other eating disorder facilities; do they all treat patients like this, having extreme eating regimens and rules for everything? The scene that moved me the most was when the staff accused one of the patients, Shelly, of hiding food. They questioned her to the point of tears and interrogation, showing her that they had no trust in her. Even after the film revealed that the food was hidden by another patient, the staff members that had accused her were slow to apologize. That type of treatment can be extremely deteriorating to a patient with an eating disorder; they should be in a trusting and encouraging environment that promotes a positive body image, not a place where all of their control is taken away and they are treated like children.Overall, I am extremely thankful to Lauren Greenfield for making this documentary. It was very helpful for me to learn what it is actually like to have an eating disorder without all of the glamor that morphs it on the internet. It was stark to the point of disgust towards the disorders, persuading me and anyone else, including those who are recovering from anorexia or bulimia, to avoid that type of lifestyle. I recommend this film to anyone who has access to it. Whether or not someone has any interest it watching it, Thin will have an impact on everyone.

Honeymoor This movie is very truthful. I would recommend everyone to see it especially younger women and girls. Im overweight myself but do not feel the same way some of these girls do. It is amazing to see how obsessive they are and the lengths they will go to..... It made a very strong impression on me and my friends. It is weird how far these women and girls will go to just to see themselves as thin. My friends are skinny at 110 pounds but some of these women reach 30 pounds lighter than that. I think some parents have a lot to do with the problems. The movie shows that. People can influence you in a good way or a bad way. In this movie there are even cliques. Its like high school in a hospital.
