Weirdly Engrossing.


I watched this film a few years back and got weirdly engrossed. I was at the beginning of my Anorexia downfall then and the programme has remained in my head ever sinse.

As soon as I finished watching, I ran upstairs to weigh myself and was relived for a split second that I wasn't as bad/ill as her. But alas that feeling faded but some hope was still there and still is.

It opened my eyes about dancers, pressures, college and trying to achieve the unattainable utopia.

I think it was a good film, but has a very select audience.

I really hope you haven't allowed it to "open your eyes" to to great an extent about dancers, because it is entirely inaccurate.

Dance schools dont go too extreme and tell dancers to lose weight just *snap* like that. And especially they care about them, unlike the dance teachers in this movie.
