In regards to this movie not making the 'men bad' mistake, it helps that the French are generally less puritanical and politically corrective then their anglosphere counterparts. Interested in seeing this. Nice review as usual.

[@reillykurl]

I found this movie exhilarating from beginning to end, it was so unique, and the final act had me laughing harder than I have in the theater in some time.

[@rhythmoriented]

Going with a group of 7 on Monday - 3 guys, 4 gals - with probably lots to talk about afterward. Thanks for reviewing my most anticipated film of the year.

[@SmittySatou]

I went alone and I found myself having a deep convo with 2 senior ladies directly after the movie. Turns out there’s a lot of similarities between Demi’s character and her real life Hollywood story

[@AarmOZ84]

I love French movies, but this one seems especially good. Glad to hear Demi Moore is still delivering.

[@stevecatanio8532]

Im 40 myself. I think the film will hit me hard. Turning 40 was a challenge. But I am learning to embrace change.

[@eddiedaniels5034]

I have been waiting for this review from you...and it exceeded my expectations. You are the sharpest film critic on KZbin.

[@kellygrooverWinkle]

These incisive, compelling movie reviews kind of distract from this KZbin channel about this lady’s incredible shoulders.

[@infernosatx9731]

Saw the 7pm showing tonight. Went in not seeing the trailer only hearing non spoiler reviews and holy hell This movie was bat shit crazy lol Movie of the year for me 🖤

[@jagalan1290]

Been waiting for this review, glad you got to it early. This movie was great exploration of that grit and gloss dichotomy as you so aptly put. My jaw was on the floor so often at how beautiful and ugly this movie was.

[@MasonDixie]

Brilliant film. That third act is one for the ages. Your jaw will be on the floor. You’ll laugh to tears. And your stomach will churn violently. Its a helluva cinematic experience.

[@Nipponcakes]

Just got out of the theater a few hours ago... That was incredible, and easily my #1 of the year so far

[@SeekingGodsWill]

I love this movie so much. Just wanted to see what you thought. I had a feeling you would love this too. I love so much how this movie appreciates the Female Form. I feel like that has been lost in many movies... Women are objectively beautiful. How we forget them as they age is the theme of the movie. That is hard for alot of Women I bet. You turn 40 and all of the sudden your less than in some cases just because of your age. Demi Moore reminds us that there is still Sex post 60. And it can look damn good. Love this movie just for its ode to sexiness. But also there is so much more to unpack. I love the 305 locker and having this company pick up the phone to take complaints and offer solutions. Yes the climax was so cool, I need to watch it 10 more times to figure out what was real, and what was dream. Thank you DeepfocusLens.

[@RonnieRocket55]

The film for sure seems uhm… special and… brave. Looks very intriguing, definitely curious about it.

[@GA-1st]

It's kind of ironic, but the most poignant scene to me is when the "final iteration" is shown primping in front of a mirror and a music cue from "Vertigo" is played. As darkly humorous as it might be, it was as if everything I needed to know about the character and the central thesis of the Fargeat's movie was encapsulated in that brief allusion to the Hitchcock classic.

[@benjamindover4337]

Did you see that black and white film a couple years ago called Divinity? This seems really similar.

[@AdrianRivera-nh8tz]

My favorite movie of the year. So fun. Unrelatedly I’d be fascinated to hear your take on the Terrifier movies-particularly the 2nd one

[@stevecatanio8532]

I have been a fan of your reviews. I think you're pretty outspoken and honest and you bring up good points that's admirable. So thx.

[@stevecatanio8532]

I ate way too much candy as a kid. I am mortified.

[@tinkerella]

its amazing. it felt like it was made for me, as i love Raw, Requiem for a Dream, Sick of Myself, The Fly etc. I was thinking about you after seeing, because i figured youd like it a lot, but maybe feel the characters were slightly under developed, or that it wasnt subtle at all, but i still give this 5/5 because the hyper-stylistic world forgives anything that some may see as a flaw. i also couldnt believe how far demi moore goes in this movie.

[@Cobicobiieeyy]

I loved every second of this movie 😭 there so many messages that this movie beautifully executed through its horror . Amazing review !!

[@bukowski20]

Maggie, I'm interested in watching this film with my 16-year-old daughter, as it seems to focus on topics like body dysmorphia and the male gaze. I hope it works for her--she loves the original Carrie, by the way.

[@geminijinxies7258]

So it's like Death Becomes Her (1992) but obviously more complex, and where not everything is played for laughs.

[@crocerla]

Can’t wait to see it!

[@tiffanywitherspoon8722]

I was waiting for your review of this film. 🎥

[@Strasss]

I didn’t watch it yet is there is a spoil in the video

[@Charliehund100]

Yeah, she totally reveals who Luke Skywalker’s father is in this video. Consider yourself warned.

[@justheretocommentokdontwan685]

3rd act disgusted me in a way many movies that try to aren't able to

[@Echt_]

Hey! Love your videos and I hope you're well!

[@stevecatanio8532]

I used to love Tootsie rolls

[@jonathannoble9465]

As someone who has seen the trailer way too many times, I feel like I should have known about the key plot point you revealed at 2:53. All the hints were there.

[@bkcw95]

Can't wait for this movie

[@usamatariq8180]

I hope its better than LAWNG LAYGS

[@bkcw95]

@@usamatariq8180 As soon as I saw Nic Cage acting like that in the car, i knew i was cooked

[@andydavis8437]

The best female horror directors are French

[@MrSynn69]

Pretty much agree with everything you said but will say my main criticism is almost standard, too long, only a fraction though.

[@aaronshouting588]

I think you’ll enjoy Dumplings (2004) if you liked this and Neon Demon

[@hoibsh21]

The movie should've been called Rip instead of the pedantic The Substance. Bnwy, you sold me, I'm gonna check it out!

[@changchang8690]

Loved this film, so much

[@clsrocks007]

I saw it at Tiff Maggie. The body horror was too much for me in imax n the strobe effects got to me I had to leave the theater to get some air before coming back. Outside I met this lady who told me she had fainted by the goriness. What a brilliant movie!!! ❤ demi n margret killed it. Coralie did great in Revenge too! This was her second time looking it

[@jaycollins2036]

I was simultaneously dissappointed and blown away by this movie and I kind of dig that about it.

[@akashnagar8694]

For the algorithm

[@autofocus4556]

trailer makes it look like style over substance. how ironic.

[@stevecatanio8532]

Hey dude 😂

[@rodycaz8984]

I can't be the only who thinks that Titane is garbage.

[@geert574]

you're not 35 are u otherwise I have to unsub 😁

[@waynemcauliffe-fv5yf]

Cheers mate i want to see it now. Wait till you get in your 60`s
