The Substance

The Substance

come on. you're the only lovable part of me. you have to come back. 

oh fucking hell when you're an old woman they want you to be younger. when you're young they want you to be hotter. when you're hot they want you to smile bigger. here, in this impossibly small space, is where they love you. and in doing so they will never set you free from the fate of destroying your body until it is loved again.

one of the final shots of demi moore, jaw unhinged and eyes wide open begging to be seen... that closeup of margaret qualley's face dripping in blood, save for the rolling tear down her cheek.... back to back monstrous performances in an absolutely perfect representation of how womanhood is actually teeth-pullingly, nail-rippingly horrible and fulfilling and it really is a million times worse when you're doing it all in front of a mirror. cinema is back in a real way you guys WE'RE SO BACK
