A LOT to take in. Not a wince of satisfaction or joy could be found within The Substance. Unfortunately, commentary does not lie within dialogue (which I think is a weakness of the movie) but commentary can be unpeeled within the visuals. The visuals are quite heavy on the eyes and you will want to look away for about half the movie. But, the plot keeps you looking at the screen as do Moore and Qualley. I don't regret watching but I think there were some missed opportunities to explore the deeper themes the movie is beginning to scratch.
Just WOW. Each chapter offered a different tone of dialogue, captivating action, and the perfect amount of shock.
I loved this movie! It truly captured how even in our must frustrating familial relationships, relationships that we spend a lot of time pondering about, there is a depth and a love that transcends all of the aggravations. Beautifully done.
