I'm Still Here 2024
When you're presented with the first 15 minutes of a happy family who loves dancing, playing games, hosting parties for friends, and playing volleyball at the beach, you know this is the peak of happiness the film can offer, and that everything will go downhill from here.

The Substance 2024
"Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? Younger, more beautiful, more perfect."
This opening line serves as the foundation of female self-loathing, built upon the relentless beauty standards imposed on women over the years portrayed so sickeningly in Coralie Fargeat's horror film, 'The Substance'.
Let me get this loud and clear: Fargeat, you're a genius.
I spent the first two-thirds of the film relentlessly rolling my eyes at the frequent use of the male gaze.
