Re: Addiction
Title: Thinspiration - Starving in Suburbia (2014)
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3257692/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Contributed By: Julie Bennion
"This movie is about the eating disorder anorexia, and it is portrayed interestingly as an addictive and destructive relationship to the disorder in a personified way. It could be interpreted as the role of evil spirits conspiring in the addiction to control, loose weight, not eat and starve. Looks at the family dynamics which create such a situation."

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2063781/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Contributed By: Julie Bennion
"Kate and Charlie are a young married couple whose bond is built on a mutual love of music, laughter and drinking--especially the drinking. When Kate's drinking leads her to dangerous places and her job as a school teacher is put into jeopardy, she decides to join AA and get sober. Her new lifestyle calls into question whether or not her relationship with Charlie is built on love, or just a boozy diversion from adulthood."
