Catherine_Grace_Zeh WHEN FRIENDSHIP KILLS, in my opinion, is a very touching and kind of heartbreaking drama about the consequences of being anorexic or bulimic. Anytime Lexi (Katie Wright) or Jennifer (Marley Shelton) threw up, I wanted to vomit myself. It's kind of hard to explain why. If you ask me, they should have been more cooperative about things. However, I did enjoy seeing them do things together as well as get lectured by their parents. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say, "If you ask me, WHEN FRIENDSHIP KILLS does indeed show you how being anorexic or bulimic can affect a person's body. " Now, in conclusion, I recommend this movie to everyone who hasn't seen it. You're in for some tears and a good time, so the next time it's on TV, kick back with a friend and watch it.

Jiji-3 Normally I would have given this movie a 6. It tackles a very important topic and it does it relatively well - despite Katie Wright, which is an accomplishment in and of itself.I have no idea if she was specifically instructed to play the character that way or is naturally irritating, but she did an awesome job making it impossible for me to care for Lexi. There's no dimension to her other than how good she is at whimpering. I can understand how a young girl who blames herself for the loss of her friend and whose eating disorder has spiraled out of control would be distraught, scared and in pain. However, Wright's entire performance is based on incessant wailing and sniveling, the rest being whining. I couldn't help but feel this particular girl's problem was caused not by the demon that is Bulimia, but by her not having a backbone. I very much doubt that's the point the movie was meant to make.

lollyemmaabbott I came across this film by accident when listing all the films I wanted my sister to record for me whilst I was on holiday and I am so glad that I included this one. It deals with issues that most directors shy away from, my only problem with this film is that it was made for TV so I couldn't buy a copy for my friend!It's a touching story about how people with eating disorders don't necessarily shy away from everyone and how many actually have dieting buddies. It brought to my attention that although bulimics can maintain a fairly stable weight, it has more serious consequences on their health that many people are ignorant of.

Hopers This movie was such an inspiration to me. I have struggled with an eating disorder for the past 8-9 years now. I have seen this movie many of times, but the first time that I saw it, it made me want to get as sick as Lexy Archer did. That was my choice and my choice only! The last time I went into treatment, I went to the extended care progam. One night I was watching tv and flipping through the channels and this movie was on. I of course watched it, and it hit me. I actually got to the point to where they were tube feeding me, and watching this movie made me realize that I don't want to go back to the place where I was before. This movie, A Secret Between Friends, Is the truth about eating disorders, and the only one that I have seen that tells you really what happens and isn't stretching the truth at all. Thankyou so much for this movie! It has changed my life forever!
