The Substance (2024) First Time Watch | The Movie of The Year?!

[@Flutter_Aeina]

The hardest to watch was her getting ready for the date. That shit BROKE me. She felt pretty and then it all crumbled to the point where she couldn’t even go out anymore

[@ericksandoval8276]

Honestly thought she would get ready and just continue to perfect it all night just showing how it won’t leave her mind at all even when she’s doing something

[@TommyDay-kq1jj]

@lechongkawaii3855 Atleast he still thinks she's beautiful and we also don't know him, So I don't want to make assumptions

[@aychelleff]

So much of what Elisabeth goes through could have been mitigated by a single supportive, loving voice. She has none. The scene of her lying in the shower, pleading with her brain/mind to stop being so cruel to her body… that really hits home. It makes sense that Sue has no love for Elisabeth because Elisabeth has no love for herself. In that way, she and Sue are absolutely “one”

[@82Jaster]

It really seems inevitable for anyone that takes The Substance. You've got to have some degree of self hate to want to take it. Elisabeth had made her living based on her body and appearance. She began to hate that body and herself simply because she was doing something that everyone does, which is age. Having Sue would only make that worse because she's a constant reminder to Elisabeth of why she already hates herself.

[@Lii170]

​@@82Jaster She didn't hate herself because of age. She was perfectly fine until she heard that jerk, and he and others started bringing her down for it. All the while he and the other dudes aren't exactly Ken. And notice that most people who makes her feel like crap, except her other self, are men.

[@82Jaster]

@@Lii170 She didn't have a problem with her age or her looks until she heard Harvey. But then she realized that both were detrimental to what she's seemingly been for the majority of her life. That's when she began to hate those aspects and it made her want to use The Substance since it creates the ultimate version of yourself. And in her case it meant a version that was decades younger. She got a new lease on life with Sue, and the only thing she could think to do is go right back to the very people who she knew only valued her for her looks and age.

@@Lii170Fargeat has said in interviews that the story is being told through the male gaze

This movie deserves best sound design! So good!!! Personally, I think sue and elisabeth are the same person and same conciousness. She just had so much self hatred that she dissociated herself from the begining by giving sue a different name and going right back to the same job that cast her out. The scene where demi moore keeps readjusting her makeup causing a break down hits me on a super deep level, this whole movie did. Thank you guys for giving us this! Especially today love ya!🖤🖤 Edit: I'm here for the monstro elisasue praise! She's a queen

[@hander929]

Absolutely. The self hatred is real in her. And how stuck she was in the same by going back to host the show. How Sue kept getting more disgusted with Elisabeth and hated how she "just layed in front of the TV eating". And then Elisabeth on her end not finding anything to fill her days, no purpose other than waiting those 7 days to switch again

With how social media is so weird about aging and beauty, this movie just did everything I wanted it to give. Not only body horror and cohesive storyline but an amazing message and theme. Margaret Qualley and Demi Moore have been amazing and I hope they receive their flowers in this movie.

[@simplyrowen]

I loved how the entire time you kept saying “our”, as if you are Elisabeth, because that’s exactly how I feel this movie has to be watched, as if you’re her, as if I am her, going through the motions. It makes the experience that much more visceral, emotional and poignant.

They don’t even know how off base they are at times.

[@theclairewhy]

The Petty Pumpkins reaction was also great! No mean comments on old female celebrities or Ozempic or "what about men" or whatever

[@xdom1n1cx]

Somehow after all of that, the most visually distressing scene was him eating the shrimp 🤮 Absolute instanity but incredibly heartbreaking to watch. Coralie Fargeat is a force to be reckoned with, to be able to create something so visually insane and not diminish the integrity of the project is pure talent (because this very easily could've been a disaster). Without a doubt my favourite release of the year. Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley are phenomenal in this...shame there is such a disregard for horror when it comes to awards season because this deserves them all!

[@LaughingAtCats71]

YES! I thought maybe I was the only one who was so incredibly grossed out watching him eat. I rarely need to look away from the gore, but I had to look away when he was eating. It was so disgusting.

[@marianaavilal]

I always love how you guys manage to be so fun during reactions and still understand the themes of the movie, some people miss so much from talking or joking and you guys always just get it 🙂‍↕️

[@frankenfairy]

I realized the chicken parallels Elisabeth throughout. You are what you eat after all... The brid stuffed with another bird ( foie gras ) , the way they touched her spine at the clinique and , the carcass looking like monstro elisasue , the dancers at the end covered in feathers... Ugh it gets better everytime i watch it .

[@heyitsmira17]

And it ties to the egg in the very beginning of the movie

[@frankenfairy]

@heyitsmira17 yes exactly! In fact , this might as well be inspired by industrial farms and the processing of chicks for eggs . Bar for bar .

[@Kellyeeeee]

There are nods to Death Becomes Her, The Shining, The Fly, and The Thing (I'm sure there are many others)! Definitely one of my favorites of the year! I think it'll stand the test of time (especially in the uhh...current climate). Much of the message of the movie will become more and more relevant. Loved the reaction!

[@82Jaster]

I feel like Elisabeth's expression on Monstro Elisasue is a nod to the infamous final scene in Sleepaway Camp. It's an expression that's etched into any horror fans mind if they've seen that scene.

[@foodiethebeautyYT]

Also Requiem for a Dream, The Picture of Dorian Gray and a Jane Fonda workout video

[@rubenhumbertoroquesalas2273]

@@kea6067 I'd expect to see it pop up quite a bit in the future due to how much people are liking The Substance. I think even with how well received Revenge was that the subject matter alone kept a lot of people away from it. That subgenre is generally a major no go for female horror fans in particular.

[@kea6067]

@82Jaster that is true, and it being a shudder original definitely contributes to it being less watched....which is a shame, because Shudder makes excellent content. but yeah the subgenre it belongs to is an absolute trash heap, which makes it all the more impressive how good it is.

[@Hatsune-Miku_Fan]

The audience feared the monster, because it was at that point in her life where she didn't care about looking pretty anymore, she curled her single strand of hair and it burnt off, but she didn't mind, she didn't have an ear for the earring but still put it in because it looked cute and sparkly , the dress didn't fit her but she still put it on because it was meant for her

A masterpiece. Also, it has to win for most references to other films, particularly Kubrick, but also many other body horror films (Black Swan, etc...).

There's a 1988 movie called The Rejuvenator, it's about a wealthy woman who finds that the serum that was used on Monkeys gives her a youthful more beautiful version of herself.

[@thegrinchsendshisregards3542]

Elisabeth's inner monster was her self-loathing. We see her lose the battle with it when she breaks down in the bathroom before her date and we see it manifested at the end in ElisaSue. Elisabeth was warped by society and herself. She was a natural beauty - young or old. But she believed in society's lie that that was the only good thing about her. This made her vain as a young woman and she could not grow old peacefully. She hated her aging self before she took the Substance and alienated herself from herself before Sue was ever 'born'. Since Sue is essentially just Elisabeth but back in her younger body the hatred for aging and 'ugliness' especially within herself comes out in her (Sue's) brutal murder of her originator/Matrix. Society should not shame aging or ugliness in anyone. Life is a short experience - scarring, weathering, and not easy. We do not escape it without being changed. The moments we live most for in Life give us smile lines and laugh lines. The best serenity we find is not looking at our reflection but into a loved one's eyes who loves us in turn. And they see the real us. The flesh is only temporary. We are more than that. Young people who are beautiful grow into Elisabeths if they are not careful. If you make your looks and the status you glean from them your only source of self-worth then Life and aging will kill you before you are dead. Gen Z (women and some men too) are getting more cosmetic and plastic surgeries than ever before. They should watch this movie because it is (in addition to being a critique on Hollywood) a cautionary tale.
