The Substance 2024

★★★★½

Ok first off, great movie.... but WTF!!!!?!

There was something a little too real about Dennis Quaid in this role too... Maybe it was just good acting but I hate his face OMG

But the two amazing leading women Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley is why this movie is so good. Just amazing performances from both!

Idk if this makes me a bad person but when the last "transformation" happens and she is trying her best to make it to her performance I was imagining the song "The Show Must Go On" by Queen playing and giggled 😭 because my god she was going to show up no matter what it was admirable.

Definitely a disgusting movie but one that you can't stop watching. You feel the tension is all I'll say.

ONE MORE THING I now understand the Margaret Qualley smiling meme with context and it is just 😭😭😭 poor girl.
