“A young woman is dealing with anorexia. She meets an unconventional doctor who challenges her to face her condition and embrace life.”
Written and directed by Marti Noxon, her feature film directorial debut, To the Bone is a powerful drama about a young woman and her battle with a very serious illness. I really like the cast and the trailer looks promising, and at the very least the film should help to create awareness about a very real issue that continues to plague our society behind closed doors. The cast includes Keanu Reeves, Lily Collins, Carrie Preston, and Alanna Ubach. Check out the official trailer below!!
