Maborosi 1995
It is not often that you come across a film that can melt and break your heart at the same time.

The Substance 2024
So on the nose and expositional.
Very much predictable.
That ending?! An absolute fucking joke.
Listing out every single plot hole is a waste of time.
For a film that tries to criticize the male gaze, it had a ridiculous amount of sexualizing and objectifying shots.Get a grip for crying out loud.
