I see a bit of influence here from the British director Joanna Hogg, with the same haunted, long shots as Hogg’s 2010 film Archipelago, and a respect for drawn-out silences reminiscent of last year’s Exhibition.

Her pale screen and innocent expressions are reminiscent of Keira Knightley’s early work, although the “Pride & Prejudice” star has never taken a role this whimpering or indecisive.
Like films as diverse as Sense and Sensibility (1995) and Archipelago (2010), To the Bone is structured by the absence of a father.
This device certainly isn't new to film, but Hogg's work — more so than Jonah Hill's 2018 film Mid90s , for example — uses the tactic to an impressively poignant effect.
