After knowing Troian Bellisario as her most renowned role of Spencer Hastings, I'd like to begin my review by commending Troian on her absolute raw talent as an actress. Not once did I confuse the two characters. Not once did I see Spencer- this was purely Olivia. Feed was artistic, beautifully ugly, vehement, and so much more. In comparison to To The Bone, Feed delved deep into the sole cause of an eating disorder, allowing non-sufferers to experience and understand what it's really like in the mind of someone with anorexia. To personify the voice in her head as her deceased twin was something done so subtly, but with such artistic intelligence and in the final scenes, when she battles internally, truly makes one sympathise with Olivia. Congratulations, Troian. This is the most thought provoking movie I have seen in a long time, it's just a shame it came out so close to To The Bone, because this film deserves every award and tenfold.

Troian Bellisario is a main character in the hit TV series pretty little liars which where most people know her best from although most people don't that she herself struggled with an eating disorder for years which is why this movie if so personal. To be honest before watching this i knew hardly anything about eating disorders but afterwards I had a desire to know more. Olivia Baker takes you through her fascinating journey of struggling with an eating disorder after the death of her twin brother Matt. This movie will at times have you feeling emotional, angry, frustrated, relieved and happy all at once. It is by far one of the most realistic movies about eating disorders there is. I cannot fault the acting of the characters in Feed as their acting skillls were impeccable, i felt what they felt and as Olivia cried I cried. I would definitely recommend this movie to a friend

I have to say, as an aspiring writer who has been failed by society and its twisted way of diminishing mental health, I am in complete awe. I knew Troian and Tom were something but this is beyond. Rarely have I seen movies that depict mental health from a place that is so real. Rarely have I seen movies that show the ugly as beautifully as Feed does. I knew of Troian's history with mental health from what she has mentioned in interviews but honestly had I not known, after watching Feed, I would still know. There seems to be an authenticity to art when it comes from experience. There is a truth that however long you study a case, you can never truly understand and portray have you not lived through it yourself. I know too much how tough writing about certain things can be and that is also probably why I am so touched by Feed. Troian, you did all of this so courageously and I personally thank you for it. Tommy, your directing is so unique and delicate, I look forward to seeing more features of yours. Also, props to Jennifer Vecchiarello for the editing. I can oddly tell that this film was made for good reasons, and that makes it earn so many points.

Never have I seen such a heartbreaking, eye-opening, beautiful film. Troian Bellisario's acting is just simply incredible, each scene very real and raw. The script is just fantastic, Troian is very brave to put this story out there especially with it being so personal to her. This film will make you feel many emotions and left me sobbing by the end. Have watched it multiple times since it was released and I can not stop thinking about it. I would highly recommend anyone to watch this masterpiece!!
