I saw this film when I was in an extremely vulnerable place during the Spring of 2002, when I was battling and just embarking on my journey to freedom from an eating disorder. It helped show me that women of all shapes and sizes can learn to appreciate themselves, regardless of their outward appearance - especially in light of the way society portrays how we are expected to look.
I like the stand that Ana had in standing up against her mother, despite how it would be to be picked upon based on your outward appearance.
I have only today ordered the DVD, as I feel it is one that I can watch time and time again.
At the time of seeing this in the local Film Centre (for alternative films), I found it to be quite uplifting. Well worth viewing! Don't wait - go out and buy it now!
