Where do I begin with this film?!
Here's another one of those films I genuinely thought wouldn't do much for me based on the "Chimpanzee" gimmick and it being a biopic of a performer I don't know anything about. Fortunately, I was completely wrong about that and this beautiful film took me on an awesome journey!
I'm guessing for the exact same reasons most moviegoers automatically decided to skip this movie as it really does look uncanny with its gimmick…
The Substance is THE body-horror film I've been waiting to see! It ticks all the boxes for me as far as preference goes and the result is an absolute Masterpiece!
Now I will start by saying, I can't speak for everyone if you'll like this or not because it's very ambitious, niche and unique where it could be seen as over the top so "tread with caution" if you're squeamish about body horror, exaggerated visuals and campy social commentary satire.…

Movies really are all subjective depending on the individual. What you see as a masterpiece and the whole world agrees is a "masterpiece" can still legitimately be boring and…
Companion is a wild ride!
And yes this will be a long review because I loved the film 😅
The initial trailer of this movie did an excellent job at withholding most of the details effectively and I was definitely intrigued by its tone. Do try to go in knowing as little as possible.
However, I was also a bit skeptical because I felt incoming heavy-handed narratives that sensationalizes one perspective over the other in an obnoxious manner that compromises…
