? The Substance: Beauty, Horror & the Cost of Perfection ?

In this intense and thought-provoking review, we dissect Coralie Fargeat’s latest film, ‘The Substance’ starring Demi Moore.

? A dark, visceral journey into the world of aging and the pursuit of beauty, this body horror film challenges societal standards and delivers a haunting look at identity and self-perception.

? Expect a blend of influences from the greats like David Cronenberg and Stanley Kubrick, as we explore how the film uses its grotesque, yet captivating visuals to highlight the extreme lengths one might go for eternal youth.

This isn’t your typical Hollywood tale – it’s raw, uncomfortable, and absolutely unforgettable.

 

? Beware: this segment is loaded with body horror and deep themes of societal pressures. Enter at your own risk! ?
