THE SUBSTANCE | Official Trailer | In Theaters & On MUBI Now

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.

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.

It’s horror in a way that is evocative and unique and BEYOND STRANGE- be prepared for weird with this one! You may not shriek in fear, but you will cringe with discomfort, and if you’re a woman (or lots of men too!) you will definitely relate to some piece of it. That’s all I can say without spoiling anything, just PLEASE give it a watch! Cronenberg would be thrilled ❤

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.

I've always dreamed of meeting Hollywood's finest, from iconic legends to rising stars. But most especially, I'd love to sit down with Keanu Reeves. His humble nature, relentless work ethic, and deep wisdom have always inspired me. Who wouldn't want to meet the one and only John Wick and the Matrix’s Neo? Plus, I’d probably ask him to show me some epic action moves!

[@eriklong6152]

Wow, just had the most amazing experience meeting Keanu Reeves via Radiant Reservation! After watching his interview on Entertainment News where he mentioned connecting with fans through a private fan club, I couldn't believe I'd get the chance. Keanu was so genuine and down-to-earth, making the whole encounter unforgettable. His dedication to his fans truly shines through, and I'm still on cloud nine from the privilege of meeting him.

[@DianaFoster-]

No way! That's incredible! I caught that Entertainment News interview too, and it's so heartwarming to hear about celebrities like Keanu Reeves going the extra mile for their fans. Radiant Reservation sounds like a dream come true! How did it all happen? I'm living vicariously through you right now!

[@eriklong6152]

Right?! I still can't believe it happened, All that is required upon discovering them is a straightforward response to emails. So, I joined this private fan club /Group via Radiant Reservation and they organize meetings with public figure It's like winning the lottery! Meeting Keanu Reeves was surreal. He's even more charming in person.

[@AngelaBetasso]

I found RR. Radiant Reservation is a fantastic community, that help make any form of arrangements with celebrities or public figures and are incredible supportive

[@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!

My god, this film is an absolute masterpiece. I saw it ALONE in an empty cinema and it was the craziest experience ever - I almost left halfway through it was so full on (glad I stayed for the whole thing). This is definitely not an 'everyone' film, some people won't get it and others will discard it as a meaningless gore film but they are so very wrong. The Substance is unlike any film I've ever seen or will probably ever see again, it delivers its message in the most brutal, raw, absurd, and blatant way. It tackles such a current issue like beauty standards and body image perfectly, and makes you feel unsettled in a way that you can appreciate. The film itself is actually indescribable and the performances by Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley are exceptional.
