Mental health experts criticise new Netflix film about anorexic girl

To the Bone, starring Lily Collins, could glamourise eating disorders and should come with trigger warning, charities say

Mental health experts have said a Netflix trailer for a film about a teenage girl with anorexia could trigger psychological issues for sufferers and should come with a warning.

To the Bone, which is released next month, tells the story of 20-year-old Ellen, who struggles with anorexia and enters a group recovery home for help. But while its director says the film is intended as "a conversation starter about an issue that is too often clouded by secrecy and misconceptions", critics say the film risks glamourising and trivialising anorexia.
