The Substance (2024)

SPOILERS BELOW

Great overall, Moore and Qualley are incredible and Quaid is good fun, and loads of great ideas and imagery. Only issues with it were that there's a section in the middle that could have lost ten minutes easy and threatened to lose all momentum, and the whole movie is fairly on the nose which I don't mind but there are a few moments where it felt like they lost control of it and it starts to feel like a student film or a PETA advert, and unfortunately they were mostly near the end (I'm particularly thinking of the NYE Special and the glitter on the star) so, for me, if it did manage to stick the ending then it did so in a very wobbly fashion.
