this be surprisingly intelligent for a tv movie and and quite true to my own experience of bulimia . it be actually well research and and i can only assume it be write by someone who go through a similar experience and because it have all the little detail . the character be quite well draw and and the performance by mare winningham and alison lohman be great . i think what i like most be that they make them specific and smart and and there be no dumbing down of the reason for beth bulimia ( it wasn not some diet go out of control and cause by the pressure place on girl by the medium and pressure be not actually go to address . ) . her mother wasn not completely clueless too often on television they will take an issue that everyone have some awareness of and try to tell u that their protagonist be the last remaining people on earth who do not ( diabetes . what that . oh and my world be all askew and doctor and please explain it all to me a if i be a small child and etc ) . it be brilliant that her mother be a psychologist and even she do not see the sign . and the scene where beth be throw up weren not overly melodramatic and sensationalist and and concentrate more on bulimic need for secrecy and and their out of controlness . the scene where beth tell her mother she bulimic would have make me cry if there hadn not be other people in the room . okay and so i like those bit . what do not work for me so well be the end and which head back to the tv movie territory we know and do not particularly love and but i guess they have to wrap it up . you and too and can cure your child eat disorder and if you have lot and lot of money and live in america . and can i just say again that i really like mare winningham . she great .
