How to conform to the norms of beauty.
She Had Some Work Done, turns its attention to beauty and the pressures surrounding it.

Characteristically, Andrews approaches the subject through an experimental cinematic sensibility rather than a conventional narrative framework, opening a space to question what is considered desirable, acceptable or “normal.”
