GASLIGHT (1944)
Years after her aunt was murdered in her home, a young woman moves back into the house with her new husband. However, he has a secret that he will do anything to protect, even if it means driving his wife insane.
"To the Bone" - Netflix film about teenage eating disorders, primarily anorexia. To be honest, in a world with people starving to death every day due to war, climate change etc... I have little natural sympathy for folks who deliberately starve themselves to death. I know it's in the DSM and it's a mental disorder or compulsion but with all the other greater tragedies going on daily does THIS problem need a movie?. Both my parents survived the Great Depression, and food for Blacks in the rural South was never plentiful to begin with. Those stories and others make these disorders tough to fathom and even tougher to empathize with. Still I watched the film and found the story and acting compelling.. Nice to see Keanu Reeves without a gun in his hand. I'm sure if you know someone with this problem you might find my feelings disturbing or non P.C. but that's how I feel. Still worth a watch on its own though the film is far from perfect.
