The scene where Elizabeth keeps going back to fix her hair and makeup, hide parts of her body and eventually feel too ugly to go on her date to just stay home and feel depressed hit me so hard because I have been there before! I've felt this insecurity many times in my life and have cancelled plans because I felt too ugly.

I like to believe that if Elizabeth didn't allow her insecurities to get the better of her, the date she went on would show her that they are people who care about her, warts and all. She would canceled the substance subscription and tell her sleezy former boss and the industry as a whole to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

@@alienboy1322yeah this movie made me think.. cause I’ve seen a lot of girls feel like old hags at age 25 cause they see posts online from men or the redpill community like Andrew Tate stuff, and they feel insecure about themselves. Cause in the movie Dennis Quad says that a woman’s fertility stops at age 25 I think that’s what he said lol. So it just resonated cause I’ve seen some girls say that on forums online or like reddit posts where their like 23 yrs old, and feel like they aren’t good enough or their time is up. Which is sad.. I’ve just seen a mass amount of young people say they are old, and their like 21 😂

​@vmarie22456 Those channels and spaces only exist because of how much men have been crapped on for the past 15 years or so, making them feel worthless and making women overestimate their own worth and have ridiculous standards. And for certain types of women, those who do want to live a more traditional and wholesome family life; have more than just 1 or 2 kids, it IS better to settle down and marry younger. Hook up culture is just terrible for EVERYONE, but it REALLY ruins the lives of so many women.

It is a body horror film about body dysmorphia that is thematically rich but never loses its sense of fun. That has been my one sentence review since I saw it anybody asks that's exactly what I tell him. It's fantastic and It's a story that only could have been told by a woman this movie should be seen as Coralie Fargeat's get out and she should be getting as much attention as Jordan Peele did for that film. It does such a wonderful job of being a legitimately good horror film while putting us the audience through a snippet of what women go through everyday it's an incredible film. After seeing revenge and now this I can tell you I I'm incredibly excited for what she decides to make next cuz with both of those films her unique voice can be seen but also her femininity brings something more to these cliched stories that makes them so much richer than they would have been without her

I think what makes a film like this so powerful with its messaging is that it doesn't shy away from portraying its female lead as flawed. Yes, some male characters are stereotypical, but the movie does a good job of getting you invested with this women's struggle. It is something any audience member can relate to, especially those who have gone through an addiction or body dysmorphia.

I have to mention the sound design because I think it was some of the best sound mixing and editing I've ever seen and heard in a film! The sounds of gore, body horror! The food scenes made me want to throw up! The music that plays for Sue felt so pornographic and high intensity, the music references to body horror films in the past! The camera angles and shots were so perfect too, again the difference between the shots of Elizabeth, being more natural, then sue having the over the top male gaze angles. This film was such an assault on my senses in the best way too.

What’s ironic is that this movie shows how Hollywood lately tries so hard to achieve “realism” that it still comes off as false reality while the absurdity of this movie is 20x more entertaining than the average mainstream Hollywood production. Even how absurd and unrealistic this movie was, the plot line and overall story was the main superstar. Moore and Qualley with the support of Quaid’s characters were a perfect storm for such a unique and intriguing masterpiece. Of course, it took a French writer to expose an observation of American satire to pull it off. And I’m all here for it!

One of the best scenes was Sue thinking she had been suddenly cancelled to find out she’s moving up in the entertainment world; makes me think actual actors and performers are subject to the capriciousness of ratings and management in an unfair, tumultuous kind of way. This same plot point raises the issue of not being able to stick to the substance’s rules, which ratchets up the tension.

Knew nothing really about it. Didn’t watch the trailer. I just remember seeing the poster of Demi’s back sewn up and was like “I’M IN”. Saw this in the best possible way. In a sold out 7 PM screening on discount day. Everyone was having all types of reactions. A woman next to me was gagging in certain scenes. The final 10-15 minutes had me laughing my ass off and applauding at what I was seeing because I just couldn’t believe how far they took this. It’s a lil bit too long but at the same time I can’t think of anything to possibly take out to shorten the runtime. Demi Moore’s best, Margaret Qualley is great, Dennis Quaid is really good (Ray Liotta originally was cast before he passed and there’s scenes where I thought Dennis sounded exactly like him). After it was over I ignited a slow clap 😂. I really liked “Revenge” but this one absolutely puts Coralie Fargeat on the map. I really hope she specifically gets attention for best original screenplay. 5/5

I loved the dual nature of the character development in this film. Elisabeth was her own worst enemy as Sue, but she was also Sue’s only empathizer. She was like, “I get it. Youth and beauty is currency and you gotta spend it while you have it. You don’t want to waste it so 7 days is short for you, while I hate being old so 7 days is an eternity for me.” The best scene for me was when Sue runs into Dennis Quaid and a bunch of dudes in a hallway and she’s crying. None of them ask her how she is doing, they admit they hunted her down to make sure she was smiling, “Show us your smile, you should always be smiling.” 😑 This movie. I wasn’t ready for it.

I think Catherine zeta jones kinda replaced demi come to think of it…i thought both demi and the actress that played sue were so fun to watch. Demi did so much with so little dialogue in the first act

Thank you, Cody. Unfortunately for me I ACCIDENTALLY saw a review that was full of spoilers. I still want to see it, though. This movie LOOKS PAINFUL. I won’t say too much, I don’t want to ruin it for people who want to see it “cold”. I will say this… I think this film should be MANDATORY for young people, I mean high school getting ready for college. I say this because society has a baseline now that plastic surgery, botox, fillers, lip injections, liposuction is JUST A PART OF LIFE. This movie is a cautionary tale, FULL STOP. Anyway, thanks for the hard work, I am sorry I didn’t get here sooner. Have a good one, you are appreciated and I hit the like button as per usual.

What a great ride! Never felt so shocked, repulsed and in awe since watching the dog scene from The Thing for the first time. But I'm afraid Academy won't have enough balls to give Demi Moore a nom. They ignored Hereditary and Toni Colette's turn winch was almost tame in comparison with The Substance.

This movie would’ve been perfect for me if it had stopped either when Sue started falling apart or once the monster was created. Those last few minutes was a little too over the top and bizarre for me personally 😅

This movie had my stomach churning and that is not hyperbole. I don't claim to have a weak stomach, but there were some scenes where i had to pause the film, run to the bathroom, brush my teeth, wash my face and take a deep breath......it's that gnarly. A great film, but a film that will unfortunately live rent free in my memory bank for a while before i go back to it. Just wow.......

All I can say is after The Fly, I used to think practical effects horror movies are dead and is a outdated thing of the past century until this movie came along. Man all i can say is Old is Gold. No matter how advanced digital CGI or AI is, it can never top the impact practical effects have on the horror genre. You know it is a good horror movie, when sometimes you are really want to watch it again, but was afraid of doing so.
