The Substance (Coralie Fargeat)

Very excited for this

 

Titane was one of my favorite films of 2021 and this sounds like this is another potential Palm D'Or winner in that vein.

Shot up to one of my most anticipated of the year

 

US theatrical release - September 20th

 

Looks properly bizarro and I'm totally here for it

 

New trailer for The Substance is out!

 

Looks sick. Someone in the comments that claims to have seen it at Cannes said that the trailer is still managing to give nothing away about how insane this thing is.

 

This looks wild, I’m definitely in.

 

looks amazing

 

Absolutely on my list

 

Fainted while watching this last night lol. Might be surprising to anyone who has already seen it, but if there's one thing in the entire world that truly repulses me it's needles/injections, which feature in abundance here and in an unrelenting manner.

Absolutely adored it, though. Constantly switches between gorgeous wide Kubrick-inspired liminal shots and uncompromisingly gross close-up body shots.

Demi Moore was fantastic. Margaret Qualley was fantastic. Incredibly distressing to watch them both go through various forms of self-hatred and self-harming.

Easily the best horror I've seen* this year.

*Had to leave with about 30 minutes remaining because I was about to pass out again. Going to catch it again on Friday.

 

That’s a hell of an endorsement

 

My local theater 2 blocks away is gonna show this. Might have to go have a wild night.

 

Can confirm this is for SICKOS ONLY. Be warned

But yea one of the very best films of the year.

 

HOLY SHIT


This thing fucks.


Wildest movie I’ve seen in theaters.

 

just got out of this jesus fucking christ.

packed theatre too. people were losing their minds.

 

yeah the crowd reaction made it even better. I'm hoping it's full again the next time I see it.

 

Shoutout to Mubi releasing this pretty wide this weekend. The best streaming company clearly

 

Body horror isn’t really my thing but everything I’m hearing about this sounds like it’ll probably be best with an audience, so I might just go tonight while it’s still fresh

 

Seeing this tomorrow

 

Lol wait this is showing at a bunch of theaters? Hell yeah

 

Seated. Got a slice for the show in case eating doesn’t sound so good afterward lol
