A 14-year old girl strips in front of her mother to give her clothes for laundering. Her younger brother steps into the room and she asks him "what do you think of me?". The boy just shrugs.
my guess from the way its shot is he didnt actually see her naked like that. would be so cool for him tho if he did
Given when this was shot, I think there's a good chance they didn't bother putting that much effort into it and simply had him be there and see her
Usually the tells are pretty obvious -- eyelines don't match, reaction doesn't seem genuine, the two actors never appear in the frame together, and especially when the shot rhythm changes and the shot compositions isolate one or both characters and it feels like the shots could even have been taken on different days.
In this case though... With the set design it doesn't loan itself to a two-shot to begin with. The focus of the moment is on the brother's non-reaction so from a film grammar perspective it fits. His non-reaction is odd but seems genuine and the eyelines might be a little off but not egregiously so and might be more of a function of his body posture and camera angle. Importantly, the lighting seems to match.
Given how much nudity and semi-nudity there is throughout the film, I'm certain she's there on set for the shot. And since the two of them share at least one bathtub scene, it's at least possible she could have remained naked. But my guess is she's probably back in bra and panties. There wouldn't really be a reason for her to stay exposed on the set since the scene ends right after. Plus her very white underwear would have been just as effective for him to focus on.
