- Paulo Coelho Alves31 de outubro de 2024Starts 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.
- rg9400há 5 diasA fascinating movie in two parts. The movie starts out as commentary on female beauty standards and the drive for relevance and fame as female stars age and become older. It's a premise covered in a lot of famous movies, and this movie isn't exactly subtle with its messaging. Almost every scene and plot device is crafted to drive that message home. From the frenetic score, the claustrophobic framing and close-ups, and the off-the-walls acting from Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, the stylish movie remains engaging even if this section feels a bit overlong. Even though the themes have been covered before and the movie's messaging is very direct, I didn't mind because the premise is unique and the message hasn't exactly been learned by Hollywood or society still. Then the movie drastically shifts. It stops trying to focus on themes and instead just becomes a pulpy, crazy ride that left the audience in shock. For a movie that was clearly so intent on its messaging to suddenly drop it completely is definitely intentional, and a contradiction that I can't decide is one I like or do not like. Certainly, the movie will alienate a lot of people because of that last act, though I am surprised by the amount of buzz it is getting just from initial previews outside of the film circuit. For me, it definitely kept me glued to the screen even if it feels like a completely different movie almost. I just wish it sort of had a bit more "substance" (excuse the pun) in that section as well. One last note. For a movie with such an obvious feminist lens, there is certainly a lot of objectification of its female stars, especially Margaret Qualley. Obviously, it's purposeful, but I've seen some female viewers find that it appeals specifically to a male perspective moreso than a female one. I obviously cannot comment on that, just that the excessiveness felt true to the movie's styles and themes, meaning I personally did not find it exploitative. This movie is really well-made and well-acted, a Cronenberg-esque marvel with an important message at its heart. It will not work for most people, but it did for me.
- Jkrilin19 de dezembro de 2024What a crazy movie! It's one of those that leaves you thinking: "What did I just see?". The story starts off pretty normal, but gradually becomes more bizarre and twisted. It has a mix of black comedy, body horror and criticism of the cult of fame that, although it sounds strange, works incredibly well. The practical effects are grotesque, in a good way, and the direction manages to keep you on edge even in the most absurd moments. Plus, there's something super captivating about how it plays with the audience's emotions: one moment you're laughing and the next you're kind of uncomfortable or disgusted. That said, it's not a movie for everyone. If you like more conventional stories, this one might seem too weird for you. But if you enjoy cinema that takes risks and isn't afraid to be extreme, this is a trip worth taking. I came away thinking how crazy and original it was. Highly recommended for those looking for something different!
- jackmeat24 de outubro de 2024My quick rating - 7.8/10. This flick, directed by Coralie Fargeat, presents a chilling, grotesque, and satirical take on vanity, celebrity culture, and the obsession with youth. The story follows a fading celebrity, portrayed by the ever-stunning Demi Moore, who turns to a black-market drug—a bizarre cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, seemingly better version of herself. The truly horrifying aspect of this narrative isn't the twisted side effects, but the terrifying reality that many would still embrace this drug to maintain their vanity and cling to their youth. One of the film’s most unsettling moments comes when the younger version of herself, Sue, played by Margaret Qualley, literally crawls out of her back in a scene that is both visually nauseating and deeply symbolic. The practical effects and makeup work are outstanding, selling the grotesque transformation with convincing realism. Watching both Moore and Qualley interact as mirror images of vanity and insecurity makes for a fascinating dynamic. Demi Moore's performance is raw and brave, showing her willingness to expose her own vulnerability while embodying the pressures of maintaining youth in a world obsessed with appearance. Qualley is equally exceptional, portraying the body-obsessed Sue with chilling precision. Both actors are magnetic on screen, parading through beautifully shot scenes that showcase both the glamour and horrors of their world. It is a highlight when the two finally get to occupy the same space later in the film. Coralie Fargeat's direction shines, combining stunning cinematography with moments of extreme body horror that echo Cronenberg’s style. Every grotesque sound and visual detail is meticulously crafted to unsettle and disturb, and Fargeat expertly uses this sensory assault to explore themes of misogyny, the fleeting nature of celebrity, and society's insatiable hunger for youth. The film’s satirical edge bites deeply into our cultural obsession with preserving youth and the price people will pay for it. The ending, in true #Shocktober fashion, is absolutely over-the-top and fittingly insane—bold, shocking, and leaving you reeling. Fargeat's vision brings a sharp critique of how society feeds off the young, yet also exploits the aging. Overall, The Substance is a daring and unsettling body-horror film that refuses to hold back. It’s a must-watch for fans of Cronenberg and his style of horror, offering not only gruesome imagery but also a deep commentary on vanity and the human cost of chasing eternal youth. I would easily place this one in top ten of the year if I were making a list and potentially the rare Oscar nomination for a horror actor, Demi Moore.
