When Friendship Kills Audience Reviews

Cortechba Overrated
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Catherine_Grace_Zeh WHEN FRIENDSHIP KILLS, in my opinion, is a very touching and kind of heartbreaking drama about the consequences of being anorexic or bulimic. Anytime Lexi (Katie Wright) or Jennifer (Marley Shelton) threw up, I wanted to vomit myself. It's kind of hard to explain why. If you ask me, they should have been more cooperative about things. However, I did enjoy seeing them do things together as well as get lectured by their parents. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say, "If you ask me, WHEN FRIENDSHIP KILLS does indeed show you how being anorexic or bulimic can affect a person's body. " Now, in conclusion, I recommend this movie to everyone who hasn't seen it. You're in for some tears and a good time, so the next time it's on TV, kick back with a friend and watch it.
lollyemmaabbott I came across this film by accident when listing all the films I wanted my sister to record for me whilst I was on holiday and I am so glad that I included this one. It deals with issues that most directors shy away from, my only problem with this film is that it was made for TV so I couldn't buy a copy for my friend!It's a touching story about how people with eating disorders don't necessarily shy away from everyone and how many actually have dieting buddies. It brought to my attention that although bulimics can maintain a fairly stable weight, it has more serious consequences on their health that many people are ignorant of.
triceecar1980 everybody should know the truth about bulimia and anorexia and that is what this movie does. Millions of girls have bulimia and are keeping it secret.This movie is about two girls Lexie and Jennifer. They both starve themselves. Lexie gets help;jennefer does not. Things happen, however, in the movie that lexi goes back to not eatting. I never knew anybody that threw up their food, but i do know someone who starved their self at one time- me. if you read this comment and you also have or is in the process of starving yourself like i did email me and i can tell you what made me decide that life was worth living.
Soul_Searcher1616 There are way too many subjects avoided in cinema and eating disorders is one of them. This film shows it as it is. It is not glamourised for the viewers to enjoy, it is shown with real truth which makes it all the more powerful. I've only seen it once and that was a few years ago but i can still remember everything about it and how it made me feel. It is a very powerful film and is good support for anyone suffering from a eating disorder to give them the willpower to stop. This is what films should be about- they should be there to help people and not glamourise things that are wrong.
