In the "Netflix Cinema" series, Logan Sowash takes a look at the films that have been released under the Netflix Original Films moniker. Marti Noxon’s “To the Bone” came out at an odd time for Netflix. Despite the film being released in mid-July, the company was still coming under fire after the controversy surrounding the release of the television show “13 Reasons Why” in March. As a result, “To The Bone” ended up getting lumped in with the show since both deal with very serious topics (“To the Bone” dealing with anorexia while “13 Reasons Why” deals with teenage suicide). It was being criticized even before anyone saw it. This was incredibly frustrating for me because it was so undeserved. Now that I’ve finally see it, I’m even more frustrated with the criticism before the film’s release because as an actual film, it’s pretty damn great.
