Parachute

(Film, 2024)

Story of a laborious escape from food addiction and obsession with one's body, the latter fueled in particular by comparison with what is seen on social media. An unexpected friendship can help, but things are not simple, especially if the obsessions continue. A psychologist could also help, but you should always tell her the truth. The film has met with some success among admirers of the director (in her first film), who is the actress Brittany Snow. Appreciations can also be seen on the Internet from those who have had to face similar problems, as what happens in the film is largely more than realistic. The writer does not fall into these categories and can say that the film has its own interest and plot, which follows the tormented relationship of Riley (Courtney Eaton) with her friend Ethan (Thomas Mann), which sometimes even reaches something more of friendship, but it always breaks down in the pockets of what the protagonist doesn't want to confess to anyone. The acting is more than good. Overall, the film is visible but without particular expectations.
