The Substance
Words can't express how eternally grateful and joyful I am that I was able to watch this at the cinema today........LITERALLY MOVIES LIKE THIS DON'T RELEASE OFTEN IN THEATERS ,ESPECIALLY IN MY COUNTRY....THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE! WHAT A FUN BEAUTIFULLY TWISTED ENGAGING SUSPENSEFUL BATSHIT CRAZY FILM THAT WAS, LITERALLY EVERYTHING WAS EXCEPTIONAL! ! From it's immaculate direction, gorgeous cinematography, entrancing futuristic ominous score to the captivating performances, very crispy sound design and amazingly old school gross practical effects, I just can't get enough of this movie. Just the perfect balance of satire and visceral body horror, both of those elements were executed so well that it never felt out of place with it's tone..I'm soo in love with the grotesqueness and how it was used for the film's message, so brilliantly effective & it made for an hella entertaining watch. This lived up to the hype for sure, especially the bonkers final act which was so satisfying to witness. It just dawned on me that this was 2+hours, and I had such a good time that I never felt how long it was at all. Again, this was an unforgettable experience. I'm compelled to watch this again ngl....
