The Substance

The Substance
Have you ever dreamed of a better version of yourself? You. Only better in every way. Seriously. You've got to try this new product. It's called the Substance. It changed my life. It generates another you. A new, younger, more beautiful, more perfect you. And there's only one rule: you share time. One week for you. One week for the new you. Seven days each. A perfect balance. Easy, right? If you respect the balance...what could possibly go wrong?

Starts at 11, goes up to one million billion and it’s just about the most perfect movie I’ve seen in a long while. There’s a lot of Cronenberg’s body horror and De Palma’s Carrie here, but it’s very much its own sick, twisted, horribly mangled, oftentimes riotously funny vision.
