Synopsis by Alice Day. Over a seven-year period, Catherine Dunbar underwent a terrible transformation. The teenager, unhappy with her weight, began a cycle of binging on food, then using laxatives to eliminate what she ate. Her battle with anorexia is shown in reenactments, as the once-pretty young woman descends into a nightmare of weight loss.
A very realistic portrayal of an anorexic young woman and her illness, as far as this can be possible in a film. I understand that this is based on the true story of Catherine Dunbar's life and it seems to include all the hallmarks of an eating disorder. I think it deserves a wide audience because eating disorders are not trivial.
Author: Margaret Dunbar. Summary: Based on the story told by her mother and her own diaries, it traces Catherine's downward spiral from the age of 15, when a lively and attractive teen became obsessed by her weight, went on binges and become addicted to laxatives - and despite efforts from many sides, died weighing 40 pounds.
