About This Movie

AlteRexia is this quiet yet intense drama that explores the obsessive nature of health and fitness during a chaotic time. The film’s atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, mirroring the protagonist's struggle against societal expectations and personal demons. The pacing feels deliberate, drawing you into her world of discipline and conflict. The events unfold with a rawness that’s hard to ignore, and it makes you think about how our devotion can sometimes tip into harmful territory. Practical effects are minimal, but the performances are striking—especially the lead, whose internal battles come across vividly. It’s a nuanced look at self-regulation and the fine line between care and harm. Definitely leaves you pondering long after the credits roll.
