Fernanda Torres without a doubt gave the performance of the year in this movie, and as much as i love The Substance, if Demi Moore won the academy award it would be the crown jewel of mistakes in an Oscars ceremony that is already featuring some incredibly lousy movies in pole position
watch this movie as soon as you can, reflect on it - lot of things to leave you thinking afterward, which is what all movies should do
act 1 is amazing, act 2 is so aggressively mid.
i will say this movie looks and sounds incredible; it’s like the film equivalent of a really good painting. but man does the plot disengage me in act 2, and it goes off in very strange directions that confused me as to what was happening at times
please don’t give this movie best picture - give it to conclave or the substance or maybe anora, just not this (and not emilia pérez)
my dad would probs watch this and say “they really don’t make movies like this anymore”
i texted my friend “wow the ending to this is nuts” … and then the last 20 mins of the movie started. and i’m just speechless. f**king bonkers
