I can't speak for all the reviewers, but when 99.9999% of the English-speaking people in the world say "nudity," what we mean is "without clothing." Some people may add up "crotch shots," "ass shots," etc., but that doesn't create a new language for everyone else.
Seriously though, for the people who haven't seen it yet: the nudity in the film is not edited, censored or proscribed in any way. For the record, the film does reveal that Ms. Berrybush grooms MUCH more extensively than her name would imply. But you only see that in brief glimpses. The lead actress does use her hands to hide her body somewhat, but I think that's what most of us here expect. Call me a perv but I loved going back over the film in slo-mo to catch some of those "glimpses" in more detail. Personally, I would have preferred a few more extended full-body shots (especially in the classroom scene), but I think the director was focusing a bit more on the facial expressions - which would have been a shame to slight.
All this talk has made me that much more interested in seeing a "Jenny" movie. The examination of subtle themes necessarily takes away from other kinds of fun. A bawdy, energetic film with more physical comedy would allow a lot more room for full-body shots. Hey: "nude physical comedy." Would that be an entirely new genre? If the director has half the luck finding an actress for the "Jenny" role as he did for "Ann," he could write a brand new chapter in film history.
