Although the film is scripted, all the actions and reactions of the characters, including the voices outside the changing room, are authentic. Louise is not a professional actor and had never performed on camera before. Standing in front of the mirror and performing in front of the cast and crew became a pivotal moment for her to confront and process her vulnerability about her body. The moments captured on film reveal her genuine insecurities about her transformed body, making the shoot a deeply emotional and transformative experience for her.
Additionally, the women heard in the background were not following a script; their conversations reflect genuine discussions about their own struggles with body image.
