8Fargeat directs the hell out of The Substance... using dramatic camera angles to imbue even throwaway moments with a sense of hyper-stylized delirium.

8It reminded me of Michael Crichton’s neglected 80s pulp chiller Looker with Albert Finney as a sinister plastic surgeon. Fargeat delivers some shocks.

8...an excoriating, stomach-churning, and utterly brilliant assault on how society discards women when they reach this age.

Frequently asked questions
What is The Substance about? 
In a world obsessed with youth and beauty, a fading celebrity stumbles upon an underground drug known as The Substance, promising to transform her into a younger, flawless version of herself. This miraculous potion allows her to create an alter ego who embodies everything she wishes to be, but at a terrifying cost. As she navigates this new reality, the thin line between desire and horror begins to blur. With rules governing how they must share their time—one week each—the challenges of maintaining control escalate dramatically. As the two versions of herself clash, the pursuit of perfection spirals into chaos and self-destruction. What starts as a dream soon descends into a nightmare that questions the very essence of identity and self-worth.
