I'm shocked by how many excellent female Authors are around these days. I won't make any names because they are already an army and I don't want to forget someone or give the impression I'm giving rates, which is something I'm not even remotely qualified for.
Feminine point of view is overwhelmingly interesting to me.
This film is good: it's a love story. Simple plot, made on a low budget but you won't notice because it has fine particulars: the fighting in the alley, very realistic; high quality images (see how Waterloo Station fills the eyes); perfect narrative balance and a very good, really convincing acting.
It's a comedy, not a lecture about eating disorders. If you don't like the genre you won't like the film. But if you like this kind of flicks, I guess you'll be nicely entertained.

5.5 of 10. While there are comedic elements, many films can say that. This is a serious look at an eating disorder and borderline insanity involving infatuation with food as a cure for everything.
The more enjoyable elements that won't result in you potentially vomiting into a toilet involve issues of trust, introducing art into displaying food, homelessness, and the realities of restaurant work and apartment life.
The less enjoyable involve an old lady repeating clichés and introducing more melodrama than humor for the prototypical young adults trying to find a purpose for their life.
Not quite up to the requirements of a delicious film, but worth a taste.

Bulimia is at best a tasteless subject. Certainly the disease is significant and should be properly recognized among qualified medical authorities. But an afternoon's entertainment, it ain't. I would, however, love to see more Finty Williams who deftly and with subtle understatement, plays the character the leading man should have chosen.
This movie is in two ways tackle the Beauty Of food and The scary Nas of Not enjoying it
