This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Just to let you know that where was strong language in this Movie and there was like a self-harm scene. Underage drinking, talk of suicide and It covers anorexia and bulimia.The Movie was in Swedish but there was a few lines that was in English, because the Movie was in Swedish I had to read the subtitles. I hope that this Movie gets dubbed in English so more people who speak English watches it. I didn't like how Stella was like with her sister's 35 year old coach, Jacob though she kept staring at him and I found it creepy. At one point she even kisses him on the lips. Stella even tells her friend that she wants to be with a 35 year old. And I'm really against it. I don't believe that age is just a number. I think that there is an age gap in a relationship it should only be 1 or 2 years apart. 2 years apart at most. I didn't like how Katja blackmailed her sister into not telling their parents but when you have an eating disorder you would do any thing to hide it and even lie and things.There were a few scenes that I didn't like and that was of kids laughing about others that looked different than them, it was really mean. The dad came off in away that he knows a lot about eating disorders. He was calm and more understanding then anyone in the family really. When realistic its women who are more understanding about mental health. The dad sounded more of a dream dad who someone imagined. I found the laughing scene at the end a bit cheesy and a little long but it was believable. if I didn't know they wasn't sisters I would of thought they were.The Movie doesn't explain the eating disorder itself, where, when and how it starts but it does focuses on what life is like when a close family member gets affected by it. Eating disorder's is a topic that I think people should know more about in order to be able to help someone who is dealing with it in a better and more prepared way. We know that the pressures from the media and society are harsh on girls, boys and young men and women since we live in a youth and beauty obsessed culture. What parents and siblings go through is difficult due to the fact that it is a very challenging disorder.I felt sorry for Stella because all of the attention was always on her older sister, Katja but I liked the sister relationship Stella had with katja. And their parents didn't really have time for Stella. I like that Stella goes to talk to the counsellor to get help for her and her sister.I like the lighting, close up shots, the ice skating, the dancing and the music that was used

My Skinny Sister bravely tackles a very serious mental disease that is more and more common in our society nowadays. The film does not explain the disease itself, where, when and how it starts but merely focuses on what life is like when a close family member gets severly affected by it and that is the painfully realistic part. Nothing is held back and strong performances from the entire cast might be quite painful or sad to watch for everyone who are all too familiar with eating disorders. We know that the pressures from the media and society are particularly harsh on girls and young women since we live in a youth and beauty obsessed culture. What parents and siblings go through is extremely difficult due to the fact that it is a very challenging disease, it is unfortunately still a taboo, it may take years to recover from it and even then it may only be dormant and come back again someday.The film is very well made and if you get a chance to see it, do not miss it. Eating disorder is a topic that people should know more about in order to be able to help someone who is dealing with it in a better and more prepared way.

Katja is a champion ice skater, she has proud parents and a younger sister, who is somewhat jealous and envious that her older sibling receives so much attention. Stella, very well played by Rebecka Josephson, discovers that Katja has an eating disorder. She wants to tell her parents, but is blackmailed into secrecy by her sister.This movie is touching and moving, tackling a difficult subject and showing what effect such illnesses have on the immediate family as well as the sufferer herself. The two sisters gel perfectly together and the scenes where they are laughing are so believable you could think they are actually sisters in real life. It's a great watch, so give it a look, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

So the movie my little sister is about Stella a young girl that finds out her older sister has anorexia. The performance that sticks out the most is Rebecka Josephson (Movie Legend Erland Josephson's Granddaughter)SHe gives an amazing performance while Amy Deasismont (Swedish Pop-singer under the stage name Amy Diamond) Gives a forgettable but OK performance. Here is a list of problems*SPOILERS BELOW *1. The family is either perfect or horrible not normal or believable at all2. The Cheesy ending. i hoped that it would be a Black Swanish ending where she Does a perfect jump but pays for it with her life3. Characters 101 they are all so stereotypical4. I was laughing every serious or sad scene
