To the bone ethical issues
There have been calls to ban the film because of fears the film might incite eating disorders, or make someone’s problem worse.
Eating disorder sufferers, particularly young girls have long been presented as especially “vulnerable” to the power of media images and messages. The “anorexic” is often shown as not simply vain, but also unable to separate image from “reality”.
The main actress whom plays Ellen is played by Lily Collins. It tells her story about her treatment for anorexia. Lily had to lose lots of weight to play the part of Ellen. This was a problem as before this she suffered an eating disorder. She was consuming diet pills and throwing up.

There is much more to this than the brief information you have given above. What research did you actually do into the film? Do you know who the lead actress is? Did you research into her? This is very basic information and does not really give you any insight into ethics.
