Yes I agree with you. I thought it was grudging. And there was perhaps a subtle inference all the way through that he wasn't convinced that it is a physical illness.
It's difficult to pin this down. But I didn't like the sentence that starts "Luckily for her she found just enough inner strength" - The first time I read it I wondered if it was sarcastic. It's certainly possible to read it that way.
"The loving but baffled family members", seems to put her very much on the outside with the families rather than with the sufferers. He didn't really seem to have been moved by the plight of patients.
"The film staunchly argues" is annoying as well. I mean it could've said "convincingly" or "movingly".
"The debate rages on… But the suffering is real" leaves the suggestion of an imaginary illness kind of hanging in the air.
I felt that he didn't want to associated with validating the illness. And this does seem to be The Guardians position.
