Leave your thoughts about To the Bone.
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansIt's a credit to Noxon's sterling wit, and her great sensitivity, that the movie delivers a powerful emotional punch. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyThere's much of 'To the Bone' that sounds hoary or hokey. But it plays gracefully, thanks to the honesty of Noxon's approach; she recognizes that moments of high emotion can be both powerful and a little silly, and isn't afraid of that duality. |
| Fresno BeeRick BentleyThere's a pure honesty to Noxon's story and direction that makes "To the Bone" a tale of despair and promise, gain and loss, horror and hope. |
| New StatesmanAnna LeszkiewiczThe script knows that telling stories from personal experience, even with good intentions, is not enough to prevent those stories from being dangerous when they reach other people. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfDelivers exceptional work from Collins, who's finally challenged as an actress, submitting to the part with startlingly gaunt physicality and sharp dramatic response. |
| Herald Sun (Australia)Anna BrainNever condescending or unrealistic, it's told from an insider's perspective by director Marti Noxon. |
| IndiewireKate ErblandThroughout the film, Noxon refuses to offer up easy answers and feel-good conclusions to Ellen’s journey, even when it ratchets up into a literally overheated final discovery. |
| NPRScott TobiasCollins commits herself physically to the role while adeptly slinging Noxon's caustic one-liners, and Reeves, as Ellen's doctor, strikes the right note between genuine sympathy and a sobering sense of where she might be headed. |
| Bullz-Eye.comJack GirouxDirector James Mangold saved the best for last with this uncompromising, brutal and heartfelt story of a fallen hero stumbling to get back up again. |
| Stuff.co.nzSarah WattThe only thing more interesting than watching how someone turns into a superhero is seeing them lose that power. |
