A body horror wrapped around an eating disorder. Shapeless has beautiful cinematography, the jazz music through the film was mesmerising as was the imagery. If it leaned more on the "horror" side I would have enjoyed it much more, but still a solid movie. Over all all a very haunting look into the heartache and pain of life with an eating disorder.

I had no idea what this movie was about but I gave it a try. It was more of a musical montage than a narrative film so if you are into avant-garde and experimental films, you may like this.
It was likely a very personal film to someone with an eating disorder. In the end, it seems to focus more on style over substance. Lots of "artistic camera angles and claustrophobic close-ups. On one hand, it felt like the director didn't want the camera to play an intrusive part in the film by keeping it far away, but on the other hand, by doing that, the camera became intrusive as we are constantly reminded there is a camera by all the weird "artistic" shots.
If you wanna watch someone eat for 90 minutes this is your film. For me, it was really hard to watch and continue my interest. It reminded me of "A Ghost Story" another dreadful film that went nowhere.
It may have worked as a short film, but not as a feature as it grew tired very quickly. It was unbearable to watch.

The film moves along at a glacial speed. Because of this, I think this film could have used a good editor. It's not a bad film. It has something to say. I prefer horror films that have a point them. In this film its addictions and disorders, and how they can distort our view of the world and ourselves. But they could have drastically cut down the runtime. I really didn't like the prism effect nor the repetitive jazz/blue scenes. You could really cut this film to less than half its size.
The special effects with the fingers on her back were genuinely creepy and disturbing. But the film in general isn't scary at all. Having said that, I really feel Kelly Murtagh (Ivy) is a very good actress. But not so much a singer. Lol. (Sorry Kelly) She did provide a solid performance and that's what counts. So did Jamie Neumann. I am being generous here and will give it a 7/10 because I don't think its trash.

You can avoid if you do not like vomiting being featured or do not like incoherent movies.
It probably is aimed at American females who think they have "disordered eating" despite not having a diagnosis.
Notable line: "Do you suffer from acid reflux?" Self-inflicted acid reflux could be one way of looking at it.
