For years, Hollywood has had issues with addressing eating disorders. Countless movies and shows have either sugarcoated it such as the controversial Netflix film To The Bone starring Lily Collins, or even worse, made a joke out of it, acting as if it's something fake, a prime example being the short-lived ABC sitcom The Real O'Neals where there's an entire bit about the athletic older brother being anorexic.
Parachute's small budget is occasionally noticeable and some of the devices that Snow toys with don't always work , yet because of the lead performance from Eaton and the powerful script co-written by Becca Gleason, the film ultimately packs a punch. It never once glamorizes or makes light of Riley's eating disorder. That's not to say that the film is constantly depressing, but it allows us to see the ups and downs that life brings her over the course of the movie.
Outside of Riley and Ethan, the rest of the ensemble doesn't ever get too much to do. Big stars like Dave Bautista, Mescudi, and Rodriquez will pop in and out, but those who watch the movie simply for its impressive cast may be a little bit let down. At the same time, this isn't the kind of movie that those names are usually a part of.
