The Substance - Movie Review

[@UltimateAwe]

Demi better get a nom

[@Roman888]

One review wrote that this was like "'Death Becomes Her' if it was directed by David Cronenberg" and I've never been sold faster.

[@arontamas5639]

I want Demi to have her "Brendan Fraser" year with this movie!

[@bryanalstoncoxing]

Same! She deserves it, this performance was so fearless and bold. So many “Oscar scenes”

[@jonathann5205]

Demi Moore: Oscar nod, for sure. Probable win.

[@Square-ow7oq]

Let's hope

[@andyanderson3628]

It's nice to see Demi Moore get a real comeback.

[@snowballthepro2926]

I'm glad to hear that Dennis Quaid is good and weird in this. He's one of my favorite underrated actors and I love seeing him in movies. Good, bad, and freaking bizarre. I hope this film is number one and three.

[@Sharpe1502]

It’s cool that 2 very popular 90’s actors are showing up in this. I’ve missed both of them.

[@sergiorosalesramirez2736]

Got yourself a new follower. This is the best review I’ve seen from the movie. Cut to the chase, with no spoilers. Eloquent. Mentioned every aspect of the film that I thought was worthy mentioning . Funny. And you got people excited about it

[@MichaelBriggs3]

Easily the 2nd best movie of the year! Needs to be nominated for best actress (Demi Moore), best cinematography, best editing, best sound and absolutely best makeup. Amazing.

[@tech1779]

Whats #1? I loved this movie so if you have one better, let me know 😂

[@MichaelBriggs3]

@@tech1779 Dune Part 2!

[@Square-ow7oq]

I think it's #1

[@rancor58]

Quaid eats up this role 🤢🦐🍤

[@ScottVanWell]

Holy shit just walked out of the movie theater in less than 10 minutes ago absolutely love this film I pray that it gets the best picture nomination director screenplay Demi Moore deserves her recognition as well it's going to win it better win makeup and I can also see the film editing style Sola David Lynch David Cronenberg remind me like you said of the editing style of wrecking for a Dream this movie had everything going for it if you're a body horror fanatic you'll love it and you're a fan of films you'll love it do not do not miss this movie

[@michaelmuldowney8]

It’s a wild fucked up batshit crazy ride. Doubt if the older Academy Members will be able to get through it sadly. Both lead actors are spectacular.

[@ghostface3000100]

Hell yeah. I really wanna see this asap. Hoping it gets a fall festival run in some of my Texan horror fests!!

[@mattbernabe]

I just saw the film for the third time. I love it even more. I'm calling it my number one favorite film of 2024. And I have to say, I took my Mom to see it, and she enjoyed it. PEOPLE! GO SEE THE MOVIE IN THE THEATER!!

[@amparonarbona5142]

Hoping this is Demi Moore's comeback❤

[@WaterHazard86]

Is this film the Titane of this year?

[@JohnCamacho]

answering either yes or no to that would be a spoiler

[@waynedexter]

What your criteria?

[@rafaelcruz9973]

Titane was a little divisive from what I remember. Everyone seems to be loving this one

[@heymistercarter.]

Considering it's a body-horror/genre film by a female French director who's making her sophomore film on a much more wild scale than her already-bonkers previous film... More or less, yea. The only thing that would confirm it is if it wins the Palme D'Or.

[@CcC-ct9tb]

Titane tackles different subjects and in a much less typical manner, from what I can tell.

[@meagan4605]

So excited for this one

[@mr29]

Do you think Moore can win Actress at Cannes?

[@lovenparanoia]

If it doesn't win the palme d'or, it might win best actress or director i think

[@richierich7229]

​@@lovenparanoiaUnless it wins the Grand Prix (second prize).

[@Chris-hr2uj]

Yep i saw the trailer for The Substance and it immediately gave me Revenge vibes. Then I learned it was directed by Fargeat. Im definstely going to see The Substance. Revenge was an awedome movie.

[@iAmiSaid]

You mentioned similar to Requiem for a dream, the scene when her therapist takes her out to dinner, and he's eating the steak... I thought, this is Dennis Quaid in this film And in Requiem it's the actor from pi, with Jennifer Connelly at dinner Same grotesque, same angles etc

[@johnnolan5579]

I love to hear this and will watch closely to see the awards attention it will/won't get.

[@ryantrent2114]

Looks splendid

[@Tomy_Yon]

Is that Demi Moore? 😊

[@nikolasheinz]

Is Demi Moore a Oscar contender?

[@pb.j.1753]

No

[@kashoot4782]

Her performance is nomination worthy but realistically, no.

[@TommyLellan]

Should win Best Picture, Actress, Director. Phenomenal movie-making.

[@remogreco7381]

Just saw it tonight. Could have easily shaved 15-20 minutes it’s 140 minutes! But it was fun overall.

[@christiandebney1989]

Great movie, very bold, great vision. It did take from many films and at times felt like a black mirror extended episode, but you can forgive it for that. Needs to be seen at the cinema.

[@ad-sd-vids5332]

Her name is Cora-lee far-zha

[@Tomy_Yon]

😊

[@Flyover3215]

I think Demi Moore's best moment in the movie was when she was mocking Sue's interview. That made me crack so hard. I was ROFL. That needs to be the Oscar scene. Yeah the mirror scene is also moving.

[@MrOiManDudeGuy]

This movie was batshit, but actually consistent and achieved things better than movies like Blink Twice and Maxxxine didn’t do as well

[@joshmajinvegetawix9462]

I'm trying to find info on the score. Any track names known?

[@JosephCalahan-to6cr]

best makeup and hairstyling and lead actress in a leading role for demi moore

[@bryanalstoncoxing]

I’d add Sound and Screenplay as well. Hopefully production design and cinematography

[@bronsonhatch]

Is there a chance this is the “Cannes director pick”

[@HarryFrisch-t4y]

I see Anora or Emilia Perez more likely

[@dailyamine]

Brilliant analysis, really enjoyed it! The film was a true surprise for me, both the cast and the themes around beauty and aging. Definitely one of my favorites this year. I put out my own review-curious to hear what you think!

[@richardevans9003]

"Revenge" was a spectacular film! So excited for this

[@thomasbaxter1371]

Really looking forward to seeing this - I'm just hoping the body horror is not an orgy of latex, jam, sponge and general cheap looking muppetry (the kind that mars most of Cronenberg's work including The Fly).

[@GareBare90]

Sign me up!

[@hvitekristesdod]

Sounds like it will make my top 100

[@SerpentLightDrums]

Whats up with the Illuminati intro?

[@ryanrodriguez644]

I'm gonna need that Anora review my guy

[@Sharpe1502]

Psh. I’m not a coward. I’ll take my 64 year old parents to see this. 😂

[@wavy5839]

where is your emilia perez review

[@RoxieC607]

Will I bring my parents you asked? Why yes, yes I will! I brought my mom to the opening week of “Night of 1000 corpses”. During the middle of the film, she proceeded to squirm in her seat and look all around the theater. I asked her what she was doing. She said, “I want to look at all the other idiots who spent money on this movie “! Two guys sitting next to her hysterically started laughing!😂 But The Substance looks awesome. Can’t wait to see it, thanks for your video

[@nyctophilex7]

That's the one I'm most excited about, can't wait!

[@jeffreyjohnson7987]

it also points to bi-polar - two mentalities in one body - this was a crazy movie

[@SEAKPhotog]

Oooooo, now that has piqued my interest. Can't wait to see it.

[@temmietaft2552]

My husband and I will have to check this out.

[@natural]

You are really good at your job! Keep it up.

[@wa-bu3ke]

Seems like the movie Body Melt

[@Codyheart1]

He's cute.

[@mrmrgaming]

So, The Neon Demon meets Death Becomes Her with a little touch of Society?

[@torivonglory]

Great, but not only a little touch.

[@Sharpe1502]

I love the director’s previous movie and have been waiting for her to make another movie. It sounds like she’s 2 for 2.

[@NICH0LASW0LFF]

Yeah Demi Moore hates herself? Yeah I'LL buy right after I buy oceanfront property in Arizona.

[@bradmerilic6848]

So is it a black comedy, or is it a horror comedy? I hope you know what I mean as far as the difference. Is it first and foremost a horror movie that just happens to be funny?

[@Theodora7]

It's definitely a body horror, I wouldn't call it super funny.

[@bryanalstoncoxing]

It has some humorous moments but overall it’s a horror movie and thriller

[@soundscapefusions3101]

All the actors are good ,but if your not into body horror and just want a good film it might seem over the top.Great camera angles and close ups make film feel special,but once the gore kicks in the director goes to the max to show details of gore ,entrails etc some are into as much gore as possible please,not me under all that was a good concept overshadowed by gore and SFX.

[@popkulturalnasciana7818]

My life is a shit.

[@ZackWeinrichYT]

I have… adhd ???

[@thefrenchmanla]

A24 please pick it up and release it to use asap!

[@pb.j.1753]

Mubi bought it before it premiered

[@sebbvell3426]

Waiting for Emilia Perez review

[@ktom5262]

A nice review, but please learn how not to butcher the director Fargeat's surname.

[@jorssu13]

Yea, the r is silent so it's actually pronounced as "faggot"

[@evienicks]

it's a proud tradition of this channel to have an absolute rolodex of butchered names lol

[@antoniodjordjevic9493]

[@rafaelcruz9973]

[@joaquinaubele6200]

I found the film script dialogues terrible done.

[@ryanlafave7964]

Your review sucks

[@Square-ow7oq]

Ok crker

[@agatar2688]

It was horribly bad

[@pb.j.1753]

Gosh I hated watching this. Felt like 5 hours of gratuitous violence, gore, and disgust with no underlying drama of interest. Paperthin characters. Nothing about this is original. Literally every element I have seen in something else before. Most overrated of Cannes this year imo.

[@AurenGlytterkat]

I’m so glad I read your take on it! Thanks for having the courage to post a dissenting view. 🙏🏻

[@thefilmseeker]

no.

[@84bombsjetpack23]

Due to the nature of body horror and shock value, some people will undoubtedly dislike this film.

[@mati.p172]

it wasn't even that violent

[@roryjones7244]

Describe the fight scene.

[@kevinriley2261]

The swearing in your review was unnecessary.
