[@hasanka.designer]

The film's opening scene was incredibly effective-it gave me all the information I needed without explicitly saying much. It begins with a shot of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, zoomed in on the protagonist's star. We see the star when it's freshly placed, with crowds flocking around, taking pictures, and celebrating the protagonist's success. As the years pass, the star begins to crack, and people walk over it, dropping trash without noticing whose name it bears. This simple, visual storytelling brilliantly set up the backstory of Elisabeth, the protagonist. Visually, this is easily the most striking film I've seen this year. Each shot feels meticulously crafted to serve the narrative, and honestly, it's so beautiful that every frame could stand on its own as a painting. The frequent close-ups were especially effective, adding a layer of intensity and creepiness to certain scenes. The color grading was perfect, enhancing the film's atmosphere. It's truly a visual masterpiece. The story and writing are incredibly clever. I don't think I've ever seen a film with such a creative narrative. In an age where original ideas feel scarce, this movie felt like a breath of fresh air-gripping from start to finish. The way it tackles ageism in Hollywood, particularly how it affects women, through a blend of camp, horror, and dark comedy, was both smart and unique. Even though many of the characters didn't have much dialogue, they were all memorable and stuck with me long after the film ended. The cast is fantastic, starting with Demi Moore, who likely drew on her own experiences with Hollywood's obsession with looks and aging. This is one of her best performances, and she deserves all the praise for it. There's a particular moment-without giving too much away-where her character ages further, and it was mesmerizing to watch. Margaret Qualley also shines in her role as Sue, a fame-hungry, egotistical character willing to do anything to get ahead. The contrast between the two characters, who are ultimately reflections of the same person, highlights how we can be our own harshest critics and how societal views on aging and appearance can deeply affect us. The rest of the cast delivers solid performances as well. Overall, this is my favorite film of the year so far!

just watched it, you have no idea, this is not a movie, this is a experience that you should live once in a lifetime, this movie was created to make you live in a high adrenaline, i was shocked, scared, laughing sometimes for no reason, this movie should be watched by any women who passed 40 and think that her beauty is shading away, it's a philosophy, i think this movie should win the oscar, if you are a very sensitive person don't watch it, if your planning to watch it on tv DON'T, you should watch it on the theater, this is the best movie of 2024 for sure, the philosophy of pursuing beauty is crazy in this movie in a level that the director didn't care about nothing just to put his crazy imagination in this masterpiece, GOOOOOO WATCH IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

The best "I'll-never-watch-again" movie I have ever seen. Masterpiece.

[@SheTheDee1971]

I recently saw this movie and it is spectacular. Demi Moore is brilliant in it and Margaret Qualley also excellent. What I loved about the film were the deeper meanings and lessons within it. That as women (in particular) the 'younger version' of ourselves beats up our older self for not being good enough. That we must maintain that youth or we are deemed unworthy, useless and on the scrap heap of life. There are some really poignant and moving moments in it where Elizabeth is told she is still beautiful, but her own self-hatred won't allow herself to believe it. This isn't just a gore fest, this is a perceptive film on aging, self-esteem, the way we punish ourselves as women and how society perceives the older woman. WATCH IT. You will not be disappointed. Oh, and by the way. Demi Moore deserves an Oscar for this film.

[@Irish_Georgia_Girl]

Terrific review & thanks! At 49 I'm going through a hard time with depression and anxiety due to still feeling 20, being told I look like I'm in my 30's, but hating the NUMBER of my age. Maybe watching this will help me

[@darryl2542]

Demi Moore is incredible in it. For someone who has built a career on her looks over her acting talent - let's be honest - she dug her teeth into this role and went all-in on the craziness, and it's utterly magnetic to watch her on this emotional rollercoaster of a movie. She absolutely deserves an Oscar nod for it.

[@rayvan23]

Saw it. When the credits came, I said to a stranger sitting next to me "No one could ever prepare for this." The crescendo near the end reminded me of the "2001 Space Odyessy" scene near the end where "Dave" is in his capsule going 1000 mph thru a cosmic soup of sounds and light, but in Substance, it's done with new tech and amazing soundtrack blasting a cacophany of music loud thru great sound system.... you can't prepare yourself for that journey.

[@rippingmyheartwassoeasy]

I agree except for the 'Best Screenplay' nod. I think the cinematography, production design, costume design, music and sound design, editing and of course acting was FLAWLESS (except for dennis quaid's over the top one dimensional performace). If you examine the narrative closely it very much is a variation on the Robert Louis Stevenson story (that has been done to death) - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This is the essential framework that The Substance's narrative is built upon. It does a fairly good job until we get to the mutation part in the latter half of the film. Then the narrative goes balls to the wall in extreme gore for the sake of pushing it to its limits and beyond. It almost seems like the writers thought 'Well we are doing the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' story again so might as well make it as different as possible. Its dissappointing, as this could have been a very GOOD interpretation of that classic story but the excessive horror and gore drops in into the 80s/90s horror genre unfortunately.
