I love that as we shift through different perspectives, Frances' body shrinks and grows, shifts from sensual to grotesque, while Frances herself is perfectly happy with her body and is only aware of it when others are looking. Perfect encapsulation of how we treat female bodies as an invitation for judgment, which leads to Jessica's dysmorphia
