  Incredible acting on all fronts, and the filmmaking on display here is excellent. Stephen Graham once again proving he is one of the greatest actors alive, and this new kid deserves all of the praise.

  All of my childhood nostalgia just hit me like a brick, thanks Rob Reiner.

  River Phoenix is incredible in this, and after reading all about what happened to him, his fade away in this film is heartbreaking. River died at the same age I am now, and in another reality, he is still making films at the age of 54.

  Special film.

  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Sep 2024

  had the biggest smile on my face for that last 10 minutes, couldn't believe what I was seeing. I need behind the scenes footage from that final segment now.

  Had a great time with this, so glad I saw it on the big screen.
