The Substance

I’m sure we’ve all heard about ‘The Substance’ being a gross and sickening movie, presumably because it’s intentionally marketed as such, to draw attention, but it’s actually quite misleading. Yes, the film is based on body horror, which is implemented really impressively, btw, but for some people, that’s where the picture ends. Besides the visually insane scenes, the major part that etched into my mind, was the simple, but  authentically presented message. It makes us question, how desperate are we as a society, to go so far, just  for the sake of becoming “the best versions of ourselves”. Sue stealing Elizabeth’s time is something we, young people do, damaging ourselves by going without sleep or smoking, stealing time from our elder selfs. I hope “The Substance” will break free from the labels and find it’s audience, since it’s most definitely not for everyone, especially not for men who laugh and only see the graphic or attractive parts.
