Viewing Notes
I wanted to like this more. The practical effects used to visualize the body dismorphism are great but the cinematographer relied much too heavily on close ups, many times extreme close ups, and shooting the subject through reflections, that it felt downright claustrophobic. There was never a single establishing shot to give a sense of place or to ground the characters.
