This is probably the most fucked up film of the year, which was surprising to me, since it's kinda getting mainstream buzz. At it's core, it is a wonderful body horror story, incredibly gory, totally brave. The last 20 minutes are wild. Fantastic work by everyone involved.

"We're sorry you didn't appreciate your experience with the substance." 2/3 of this I really liked. Too bad I really, really hate body horror. Had to cover my eyes for most of the final act. Guy next to me couldn't stop laughing though. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Too bad I couldn't enjoy this more as it tackles some really interesting themes of addiction, beauty, youth, and celebrity. As someone who's worked customer service, this is the worst kind of customer—refuses to follow directions and then complains when things go wrong.

"Long aint it? The 7 days." If your stomach churns easily, we warned you. That 3rd act..was something else. Solid high concept film. Definitely like the substance angle. I hope they build this one out a bit. A lot of worldbuilding could be done with this. I think the cast did well all around. The prosthetics was dope, I can't see why this wouldn't at least be nominated, or at least special effects. [spoiler] I was genuinely surprised the director/writer was a woman, she definitely has the male gaze mastered for sure for sure.[/spoiler] EDIT/UPDATE: I initially gave this a 7 but I forgot the whole dynamic about aging and if given the option of being a younger better version of yourself could be an addiction, and if I was put in a similar situation could I stop, or could I maintain the balance? Because of that I bumped it up. It got me thinking. Empathizing and shit.

A fascinating movie in two parts. The movie starts out as commentary on female beauty standards and the drive for relevance and fame as female stars age and become older. It's a premise covered in a lot of famous movies, and this movie isn't exactly subtle with its messaging. Almost every scene and More

I’m into strange films, psychological elements, dramas, and gore, but this movie is complete garbage.

Grotesque, diving into the pitfalls of progress and the human obsession with perfection. Visually, it’s remarkable — its uncanny imagery often leaves you questioning whether you’re thrilled or disturbed.

However, while it’s bold and at times deeply unsettling, it doesn’t quite achieve t More

I love French comedic films, and this one is no different. Coralie Fargeat crafted a seemingly simple story on the subject of Hollywood's obsession with youth and beauty, and then directed it right into the status of cult, horror, midnight, grade B (the good kind) movie genre. Brilliant!
