Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other.
What could go wrong?
Moores performance was Elisabeth was the black comedy endeavor fans needed following Fargeats previous film.
A fading celebrity, Elisabeth Sparkle, turns to a mysterious drug that promises to restore her youth. The drug temporarily creates a younger version of herself, named Sue, who quickly ascends to the fame Elisabeth once craved.
Coralie Fargeat has an admirable track record with female-centric horror.The Substancefollows up her 2017 venture, aptly namedRevenge.
Jen is viciously assaulted and left for dead, but she returns to wreak her vengeance.
While the events of the film are earned,Revengeis a hard watch.
Viewing Jens assault is supposed to be uncomfortable and makes the following events of the film worth it.
Fargeat’s views on rape culture are prevalent in the movie anda logical precursor toThe Substance.
The components of the follow-up film are also not as heavy as inRevenge.
Nevertheless, Fargeat keeps her brand consistent by portraying difficult female-centric topics that demand discussion.
Viewers can catch the physical release ofThe Substancein 2025 and watch it streaming currently on MUBI.
