Product description

Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? You. Only better in every way. You’ve got to try this product: The Substance. It changed my life. Demi Moore gives a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid). She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: THE SUBSTANCE. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley). The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong? Deliriously entertaining and ruthlessly satirical, Coralie Fargeat’s Cannes sensation turns toxic beauty culture inside out with a be-careful-what-you-wish-for fable for the ages. Explosive, provocative and twisted, THE SUBSTANCE marks the arrival of a thrillingly visionary filmmaker.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Movie of the year!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 December 2024
    Without a doubt, one of the most insane and shocking movies I’ve ever seen, and undoubtedly the best movie of 2024… and possibly even the 2020’s! Sheer, deranged madness. Obsessed!!!!

    Well, this film pushes some boundaries, but I found it compulsively watchable and highly entertaining. A big thumbs-up from me.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Another male gaze film … yawn
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2024
    With two leading ladies, I thought this was going to be empowering. It was just every five minutes close ups of female nudity, full frontal and boobs from multiple different characters and other supporting actresses it was just tacky. What was the point of all these close-ups of the boobs? I don’t get it. It just seems like it was made for men. This had such potential. So disappointed, I think this film was just a vanity project for the leading actresses. There was no reason to show this amount of female nudity, the point could still have been made without it. Lost respect for both actresses. And funnily enough any male bodies were shown from behind and not the front what a surprise…

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not my cup of tea
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2024
    I don't care what the genre of cinema is - horror, grindhouse, comedy, romance, historical - you've simply got to enjoy it. Oddly enough, I love b-movie body horror, and I'm an avid fan - Having watched The Substance, I remembered 1989's body horror classic Society, another film that mixes gore with satirical, and even John Carpenter's They Live, with its us and them paranoia, and 1967's She Freak.

    The Substance is clearly influenced by 80's body horror with Moore's televised aerobics instructor character being replaced by a younger model, played by Margaret Qualley, who, in the hi-concept arthouse style, is a reborn alternate younger version of herself - yes its a step too far, in my opinion.

    It goes the way you expect it to go; it is the most predictable film of the year: it isn't pleasant, and I don't believe it was particularly well-acted, but its tone is so uneven that sharper acting may even look out of place. The film was unusually long at 141 minutes - and I love long movies but this felt like an 80 minute movie padded out to 141 minutes - I suspect this is due to the films art-house sensibilities. It features meandering sequences of Moore staring at her reflection in a mirror, re-doing her makeup for instance, and constantly walking to a dodgy part of town to collect refills of 'The Substance', itself.

    The electronic 80's infused score was very good, and it is an ambitious film with creative energy, but I didn't enjoy it. I endured The Substance, and if that was the point, then they succeeded.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Massive Projection
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2024
    I give this film 3 stars, as it is well made and gets its ideas across effectively from a artistic standpoint. Other than that, The film is a thinly veiled piece of left wing feminist propaganda (as admitted by the creators) and the plot is incoherent and nonsensical when you actually pay attention to it...

    The main character spawns a clone of herself and initially we are led to believe that her consciousness is shared by both bodies. But we see this is in fact not the case and they are actually two distinct people which is why they both act stunned at what the other has done when either one of them wakes up. By the end of the film you literally see them both awake at once, which confirms this. This makes the entire film an absolute exercise in futility; why would you choose to have a clone of yourself go around and ruin your life in every way and you don't even get to experience she does? NONSENSE. yet, there is one scene where the older version recognizes one of the men the younger version slept with; this is what I mean when I say this film is incoherent.

    No one in the film ever comments on the fact that she's literally a younger version of the famous woman that she is replacing. Ok then. You can really tell this was written by women haha

    Ultimately; what this film is ACTUALLY about is a massive exercise in self deception on behalf of the creator...

    Elizabeth Sparkle is a simply a self insert of the director. It's pretty telling that she has no redeeming qualities other than her looks, is highly narcissistic and is childless and single over 50 AND utterly insane. This film is a glimpse into the broken mind of a dysfunctional 21st century woman who is incapable of perceiving what has actually been done to her by proxy of living in this deeply subversive time...

    At NO point is it ever asked why she is a single childless woman in her 50s despite her having the pick of any man she wanted in her youth. How does a woman who is as attractive as she is end up childless and alone? because this is what she chose... But WHY? I'll get into the real reason WHY down below. As usual, instead of taking responsibility for her life choices, the film puts the blame squarely on men; who are all portrayed as either craven, weak/incompetent or sociopathic. The director's contempt for men is desperately portrayed at every possible opportunity.

    At NO Point does Elizabeth ever go "maybe I should have fallen in love with a man that loves me for who I actually am and I love him back. We could have had kids together and made that the focus of my life, instead of choosing to be childless and dedicate my life to evil men who only wish to exploit me for my physical appearance for the sake of my own ego..." There are points where the film shows she just want to be loved; but instead of getting that love from a family she could have had, instead she CHOSE to get it from people who ultimately don't care about her. This is the big trick that is played on western women in this morally bankrupt age. They are told NOT to have a family and fall in love with a man, instead forgo that for "your career" at the behest of a corporation that doesn't give a F*** about you and would happily see your life ruined for the sake of its bottom line; THAT is what the film should have been about, how the self centered lifestyle that is foisted upon women as the correct way to live by western governments and corporations has lead many of them into inescapable misery.

    In the mind of this woman, actual virtuous men do not exist. As far as I can tell, The 48 year old director has made the same life choices as the main character and portrays herself as the victim. Her life is dedicated to her own ego and hedonism. Now reality has come knocking and can no longer be ignored and this is what it has left her with; A dead end that is waiting for anyone that duped into following this abysmal path.

    Never will a person like this EVER consider that they were wrong when they are this far down the line and there's no turning back... NEVER will they reconcile that they were coerced into a worldview that has caused them to make terrible decisions and ruin their life. The simple thing to do is to just blame men and assume they're ALL ultimately bad in some way! This is how these types of women justify their fate to themselves. Typical. Do not be fooled by this self deception and reject the EVIL messaging of this modern age. Find someone who loves you and you love back and be a good family member ffs instead of being duped into loneliness and bitterness by FEMINISM and "My Career"

    5.0 out of 5 stars Genius, Utterly incredible…….
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2024
    My goodness, what an utterly absorbing, brilliant film. Strong message, very thought-provoking, plenty to analyse, discuss, recover from (!) afterwards. Psychological, body horror drama at its most groundbreaking. I have watched a lot of extreme/challenging cinema, and am not easily irked/disturbed or at odds with what I am watching, but this had me squirming in my seat in the most bizarre of ways but I couldn’t take my eyes off it……it has to be seen to be believed, simply astonishing, Coralie Fargeat is without doubt one to watch, itching to find out where her work goes next……genius.
