I would have given this movie a perfect five, but it became campy af by the end. Is it more The Fly or Videodrome? Either way, I can see Mulholland Dr. sneaking its way as well when Monstro Elisasue was being delirious.

un excellent "film black mirror" je vais développer après : je vois le film sur deux plans : celui très black mirrorien, une technologie dystopique poussée à l'extrême pour montrer que c'est néfaste et le mal fait de notre société en gros dans un miroir (vraiment ce côté technologie poussée à l'extrême) et de l'autre le symbolisme, chaque plan, chaque scène explique et fait une métaphore et ça c'est fort. le film nous explique sans nous expliquer que l'humain veut devenir toujours mieux dans une perfection imaginaire ("prenez la substance et devenez parfaite" mais c'est quoi parfaite ? c'est que des valeurs subjectives propres à chaque individu) qu'on finit par s'y perdre (la femme du début se fait tuer par sa copie donc à force de vouloir devenir connue elle n'existe même plus) tout ça pour finir en Elephant Man moderne avec un bain de sang. puis elle devient qu'un truc flasque avec…

I now understand the dangers of yassification🙏🏽🙏🏽

The beef was unmatched soundtracks went hard, ponyboy would be amazing to hear but these beats did not dissapoint either. the whole concept and meaning of the movie was amazing I got the excitment, creeps, and awe simultaneously I wish we had more scenes of Sue though, both actresses did good job in this

joker for women

Um filme bizarramente bom. 'A Substância', de Caroline Fargeat, é um filme desconfortável em grande parte de sua duração, e é isso que o faz tão bom. Demi Moore assume o papel de uma estrela em decadência, que utiliza de uma substância para conseguir ser o "melhor de si". A partir dessa descrição, é possível ter uma ideia de como isso será abordado no longa. Não é necessário eu explicar a mensagem por trás dessa obra, já que é bem óbvia desde o seu início, porém, é interessante como uma crítica tão simples, sobre como o envelhecimento e o corpo das mulheres é visto pela indústria e pela mídia, acabou virando algo como 'A Substância'. O roteiro de Fargeat usa a sátira como um de seus principais elementos, importante para a construção da narrativa que permeia por todo o filme. Preciso também dar meus sinceros parabéns a equipe de maquiagem, que fez um trabalho espetacular nas cenas grotescas, que recebe uma ajuda de efeitos visuais igualmente bons.

holy fuck! LMAO. it's gross, it’s loud, and it’s glorious. it’s like someone took every bad trip i’ve ever had, rolled it up in a big, greasy ball, and threw it at the screen. and i mean that in the best way possible. or the worst way. i’m not even sure anymore. underneath all the vomiting, there’s something weirdly profound, it’s saying something about human's obsession with control and pushing too far. watching the two of them come undone, physically and mentally. how far can we push before we break?

Muy divertida, no me esperaba tal giro en su corta filmografía, de un Revenge Thriller entretenido a un gratamente consumible Body Horror.  Para mí es un sobresaliente en lo que vendría a ser la comida rápida del cine, una McMovie que sabe utilizar los elementos del terror de una manera ávida, y tal vez, desde mi punto de vista, demasiado respetuosa, entendiendo que va dirigido a un público tan destilado como es el norteamericano, mirándolo desde esa perspectiva, se hace muuuy divertida, y dado que es una McMovie sale igual que entra, siendo éste uno de los principales errores que me parece que se tiene sobre esta película, tratar de darle una profundidad inexistente tan sólo porque la vendan así en los festivales. Me parecería absurdo tragarme la bola del renovador alegato feminista, sobre todo en un largometraje centrado en explorar los sentidos de manera tan primitiva, hipnosis con foley, montaje tiktok, analogías evidentes y una trama frágil sin aprovechar lo más mínimo a ninguna de las protagonistas, me parece insultante darle la palma de oro a mejor guión, donde la exploración de cualquiera de los temas brilla por su ausencia, lo siento pero es así, es un ejercicio simplista para un público Hollywoodense que es incapaz de enfrentar la realidad.

"Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? Younger, more beautiful, more perfect." The idea is simple, but the way Coralie Fargeat takes it to its absolute extreme is crazy. Beauty, ageing, fame, self-hatred... everything becomes louder, uglier, and more grotesque until the movie practically starts screaming at you.

me dio demasiado asco asi q cumple con su función

A pretty bad script with the craziest Director-DP combo you've ever seen in your life

This is Dorian Gray but for straight people

瘋狂的觀影體驗 不過都沒有說明書怎麼都知道操作方法啦XD

It traumatized me

This film reaches out of the screen into you and rearranges your organs

que final merda KKKKKKKK

ONE OF THE GREATEST BODY HORROR FILMS EVER MADE!!!!!!!! If Coralie Fargeat’s debut film “Revenge” was too much for you to digest, then I bet you that was nothing in front her second film.  Once I got to know the concept, I thought this would surely escalate at some point. But didn’t expect it to escalate to a level where my jaw dropped in amazement in multiple sequences and prosthetic marvel they have achieved in this - Phew!!!! It’s gross but spectacularly gross if you know what I mean. This is surely not for those who can’t digest the level of body-horror that unfolds before us. 

This really says a lot about society

Coralie Fargeat certainly has a style, and I for one love it. The star earring is her calling card. Beautiful images pop with color onscreen, but the dark undertones remind you of Kubrick (the bathroom's secret room and the friggin shining carpet and that one hallway scene being the most in-your-face). And the other metaphors are just as obvious. But I'm okay with it because they should be obvious. In fact, it's so obvious that we share responsibility for refusing to address our ridiculous beauty standards, or worse, participating in it. We all have. And that's why the blood is on our hands. Or as Coralie Fargeat thinks, we should all be soaked head to toe in blood. In addition to Kubrick, there's obviously influences from Cronenberg, Carrie, Old, Benjamin Button, Lair of the White Worm, Jack, Titane, and a lot of the VHS horror from the 80s I cherish so much. Oh and the entire…

the most disturbing movie i've ever seen...

Disgustingly wonderful. Loved every scene of it, even those that made me wanna scream. The movie explores an idea that has been reoccurring a lot lately in our lives, but it's told in such a masterful way that you don't mind the plot being somewhat predictable Beauty standards, comparing one's self to others, blah blah blah, you know, all that crap we've been hearing ever since social media became a prominent part of our society. However, Coralie Fargest’s touch on this idea is very interesting and especially relatable to me. As Elizabeth finds herself jealous and envious of none other than herself. The movie plays with the idea of the perfect self and materializes it through the use of the substance. Eventually, both these personas fight for control, for existence, breaking the balance and eventually leading to the destruction of the self, but not before an atrocity comes out of this…
