Brehs this is the first horror movie discussed on here in some time where the consensus is that this movie is bonkers and just flat out great. I don’t remember Hereditary getting nearly anything close to the universal praise that im seeing on here for this gem.
‘THE SUBSTANCE’ (Starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley) | Official Trailer | MUBI (9/20)

I wasn't really feeling this.
It wasn't particularly engaging, and it didn't really have anything new or thought provoking to say.
Beyond its aesthetic, you never really get beneath the surface of the psyche of what the lead(s) are going through, to get a sense of their anxiety and malaise. Whilst watching it, I couldn't help but be reminded of Aronofsky's Black Swan (which managed to harness the chaos of femininity on a much grander and visceral scale).
And despite how groteseque and overripe it is, it still didn't go 'all the way' like it should have. There was a genuine missed opportunity to explore the sexuality between the young and old versions, where they amalgamated whilst in the act, with the beauty of the young and the contrary of the old (literally and figuratively wrestling with the idea of those iterations), which would've been a better use of the narrative rather than wasting time on the rather inconsequential scenes during the second act.

If you like Cronenberg, Requiem for a Dream and Paul Verhoeven's American films…. well, The Substance isn’t as good as any of them, but it's pretty solid. Had they cut it down to 80-90 minutes I'd like it more.
This shyt was fire. Loved the cinematography and the music.
Pacing was good. Movie was a lil long but I wasn't bothered by it. The ending was crazy. Best ending since the original Speak No Evil.
movie was gory and disgusting but worked.

This movie was weird as hell. Doubt I'll watch this again. Way too gross even though it was interesting enough.
