- rg94001天前A 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.

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.
- "THE MOVIE FANATIC"2026年6月3日The best film of 2024 imo!! Also Coralie Fagerts "The Substance" is by far the best body horror I've seen, since both The Fly 🪰 & The Thing 👽 remakes. There's nothing better as a horror fanatic, than seeing old school practical effects and we get it in all its glory here; just the sheer creativity of it all during the whole transitioning sequences was unreal and just when you think you've see the best of everything it always manages to top itself the whole way through just downright amazing 👏👏👏 And finally I can't end this review without mentioning one of my biggest childhood crushes 🤩"Demi Moore"🤩 it was so refreshing to see her back in a top movie again. She was absolutely phenomenal in this and should have 💯 without a doubt won the Oscar for best actress here. Every single scene from her is a scene stealer; just a very very impressive performance from her. Unbelievably her Oscar-Nomination for "The Substance" was the first ever Oscar-Nomination of her career. 😲😲😲
- Jkrilin2024年12月19日What 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!
