The Substance - Movie Review | Cannes 2024 | This Gnarly Body Horror is an Instant Classic

My review of Coralie Fargeat's latest film The Substance starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid. This gnarly Body horro draws inspiration from The Fly, The Thing, Carrie, The Shining, Vertigo, and Society.

THIS! THIS IS THE ONE! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@LukeHearfield]

Hehehehe you better believe it! I can’t wait for more people to see it so I can discuss the pandemonium with others in more depth. WHAT A MOVIE! xx

[@CRM-114]

I‘m starting to think the „message“ of this movie isn’t as obvious as everyone thinks it is. Based on what I know about the plot, my interpretation would be a different one.

[@LukeHearfield]

Oh cool. Well isn’t it great that there’s more than one layer of subtext. Often great movies have multiple ways to viewed/interpeted 😊 what you reckon it’s gonna be about? X

[@tiago77907]

What could be?

[@Jay-n262]

Adreno

[@hdshjs]

Not everyone understands this film. Just as not everyone understands what even stands behind plastic surgery, dismissing it with a contempt as 'vein and shallow'. I hope the awareness for body dysmorphia issues will increase and people who suffer it will find more understanding and empathy.

[@mr29]

Would love to see Demi Moore get some award traction for this. An Indie Spirit nod seems likely. Maybe a critic's prize or two.

[@LukeHearfield]

I’d love that too but once you see the movie and how batshit crazy it is I’m sure you’ll understand why it’s unlikely to get much awards traction. But without doubt its one of her best performances ever

[@Starkardur]

is this movie eligible for indie spirit? Isn't it a French Production?

[@singstreetcar5881]

We want a cameo appearance from brother bro on your channel

[@LukeHearfield]

Hahahaha we were planning to have him pop up for my review of the balconettes but we sadly ran out of time. 🫤

[@foreverdrift]

Thanks for making me aware of this film. I really enjoyed Coralie Fargeat's first feature Revenge, so I'm looking forward to this!

[@LukeHearfield]

Hopefully you love this film just as much if not make than Revenge. This movie blew me away! X

[@jamievicha1660]

It's kinda ironic that Demi has had some work done, no? Obviously she takes great care of herself, but still...

[@hdshjs]

You are great and very respectable. I subscribe.

[@Destiny93134]

Loved revenge ! Really looking forward to this one.

[@LukeHearfield]

You are in for a treat. Now that I’ve seen The Substance I really want to check out Revenge. This movie blew me away! Just wow wow wow all around xx

[@LukeHearfield]

What score would you give revenge out of 10? Just out of curiosity 😁

[@zacgale4231]

@@LukeHearfieldI’d give it a 7/10.. I know tons of people love it though. Hoping we get a release date soon for the substance.

[@Destiny93134]

@@LukeHearfield 10.i loved it.

[@LukeHearfield]

@@Destiny93134 wow 😮 I’m even more incentivised to watch it now. Thanks for the recommendation 😊

[@khoohockleong7585]

Does Isl has a path for his devotees towards enlightenment? I should think soDt Wait from RDt Pillqi on a video on this we here he can explain clearly because he is a fully enlightened being. As you know during the 12th and 13th centuries the Caliphs in the Arabic Woorld held immense power in the material in realm. But IIslam is also very strong spiritually Dr Pillai has taught us how the Prophet Mpohamed receive his tenets from Allah through a Light in the cave There was a moment i the cave when the Prophet ask the Light who he was. The Light says Ahir Ashad Ahir meaning I am what I am now and forever. Wait for the video taughtanyr by a Difi on how Muslimd can use their techniques within their religion to get enlightened

[@lostinthereel]

I loved Revenge... I am so excited for Carolie Fargeat, that her follow up is being so celebrated!!! CANNOT WAIT to see this in the theater! Mubi better not screw this release up

[@LukeHearfield]

Knowing the rapturous response to this film I think it’s highly unlikely they wouldn’t go for a theatrical release. People know this is a crowd movie. If it wins a Cannes prize that will only be more incentive to do so 😊

[@Destiny93134]

You need to watch revenge its so good !

[@LukeHearfield]

I will make it a personal mission of mine to watch revenge. Fargeat seriously impressed me with the Substance and I wanna see if Revenge is as wild and as good as this.

[@Destiny93134]

@@LukeHearfield its amazing , such a visualy beautiful but also brutal thriller.

[@LukeHearfield]

@@Destiny93134 hehehe you’ve already made the sale, all you’re doing now is amping up the hype 😁❤️ x
