The film is really interesting, but Bale does look extremely disturbing. And I don't even have a specific squick about emaciation.
The director said that Bale's wife was keeping close tabs on him to make sure he wasn't killing himself with the weight loss, and would even check to make sure he was still breathing in the middle of the night. Scary stuff.
Part of the reason I love Bale so is that he throws himself completely into a role, but he certainly went above the call for this one.
