The Substance 2024
What a very dystopian film.
Quite surreal, the combination of colours in production design, and the clashing of eras, because we are specifically never told the time period of the world, but the vibrant images, cool American muscle cars, and the story itself revolves around things you would see in your 80s, but just set in the present day--anachronistic in a sense.
