for a previous production "The show packs a lot into a short amount of time. It’s peppered with insight into the mind of someone who struggles with food. Emotions are raw, and although intense moments can be uncomfortable, it’s hard to look away...Since the show portrays a highly personal experience, it may not be as accessible as it could be. Baldwin’s performance is certainly authentic and conveys the struggle that comes with an eating disorder, but it can be unclear at times what motivates her actions." Full Review
