  I really wanted to like this, because I love the firewatch-setting and I‘ve always been on the lookout (haha) for movies - especially horror movies - with that setting. But Jesus Christ, this was so fucking bad and tone-deaf! 

  What a shame.. But I would still recommend watching it, because it gets so ridiculous sometimes, it made me laugh.

  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Dec 2024

  Toxic beauty ideals, the social fetishism of youth, the devastating effect of ageing and decay, the responsibility of the younger self towards the older one and the destructive conflict between them.

  The way this film handles these topics is very playful and amusing, but also insanely dull and painfully lacks any original ideas or insights that it could add to the discussion. Also it tries so very hard to be art and provoking and disgusting… But you know what? I fucking loved all of that. 

  Punk‘s not dead! \m/

  There really is no reason for this movie to be that long. It's doesn't say much, has a very trivial and shallow plot, and besides, I don't like how it suggests that someone is only worth protecting if they make themselves useful. The words "shame of uselessness" are spoken (maybe a little different in Englisch, I've seen the German dub) - why can't you just protect someone because they need protection? Imagine if that principle was applied to war refugees.…
