The Substance

I am late for the party, but after months of anticipation, I've finally watched "The Substance". Masterfully crafted, it's filled with amazing performances, a brilliant cinematography and, what was for me the best part of this film, an outstanding editing. Seriously this was amazing. The last 20 minutes were really different from the rest of it, but it still made sense. Everything had been stablished. The rules, the stakes, the final sequence was nothing more than a consequence of the breaking of those rules. I still think it is the lowest point of the picture, but I can't say that the ending messed the whole film up. "The Substance" gives a new vision to body horror, it refreshes the genre and introduces us to a very promising director and screenwriter. Very consistent overall, with a low point towards the ending, but still impressive and entertaining.
