The Substance

This movie has lot to talk about and I could probably pick it apart or sing its praises all day if I wanted to. I think ultimately what I’ll say about it is that it presents an interesting conversation on identity and body image in a way that is almost too aggressive. It’s slow to start but the last hour is insane. There are aspects of it I enjoyed. Definitely warrants a longer review but I don’t want to spend anymore time thinking about it. 3.5 stars is probably a more honest rating, but its ambition earned 4.
