The Wasting

A haunting coming-of-age drama, "The Wasting" follows a teenager struggling to navigate her emotions and independence as she faces off against controlling parents and an eating disorder that takes a dark and supernatural turn, blurring the lines between reality and nightmare. Based on the true story of an anorexic young woman visited nightly by a ghost, this Canadian-British film is a poignant portrayal of perception, reality, and the devastating consequences of toxic masculinity and unaddressed mental health issues.
