This film hooks critics but leaves some audiences with withdrawals. Due to that, substantive spinach popper Popeye asks Hundred Tomatoes this question: Should I inject “The Substance” into my veins?
Just saw this film last night - there really isn’t a lot to say. It’s shocking, grotesque, but also brilliant.
I agree whth almost everything in this review - I think “The Substance” also deserves an Oscar nomination in Sound Design! More often than not when I viewed this movie the sounds were what made me curl in my seat rather than the images.
That’s a great point regarding the sound! The noises they needed to add in and create to add to the shock value are a huge accomplishment within themselves.

Great review! It’s too bad they made the movie so bloody and gross. I’d love to see it otherwise—glad to see Demi Moore make her comeback!
She performed phenomenally! Hopefully she gets some recognition for it
