Getting yourself sick because you need attention. Conciously taking pills in large amounts to cause severe side effects to make yourself ill. That is the synopsis of this story. An interesting story indeed and it is known to be a officially diagnosed psychological disorder.
The bad: this movie stayed stuck in just one gear of this girl keeping on using pills to damage her own health and then afterwards swallow in self pity and the attention she gets for her self induced painful sickness.
The bad: There is no real dramatic arch though, no satisfying final, it's just 90 minutes long popping pills to make yourself sick. May sound dramatic, but I felt it was missing a plot turn that would turn this into a more dramatic story.
Promising start of a movie that unfortunately petered out slowly but steadily...
