I Guess an ambitious psychological thriller with a gripping premise and strong visual appeal. Demi Moore delivers a solid performance, and the cinematography effectively builds a sense of unease throughout.

However, the film struggles to maintain its momentum. While the first half sets up an intriguing mystery, the second half loses focus, bogged down by uneven pacing and underdeveloped character arcs. The screenplay feels like it’s reaching for something profound but falls short of delivering a cohesive message.

Overall, The Substance is worth a watch for fans of moody, atmospheric thrillers, but it doesn’t quite live up to its potential. It’s good, but not great.

Absolute madness from start to finish.

Almost unwatchable. Overly long and boring.
