The Substance Not going to go much into the plot as I think it is best to go in blind. Demi Moore is fantastic but the entire cast was as well. There are a lot of up close shots that are slowed down but mixed with high energy music that meshes perfectly. The first two thirds was very interesting and I didn't really know where it was headed. I'll add a spoiler tag to talk about the timing of the acts but there is nothing plot related.

Spoiler:
It quickly ramps into a body horror film in the last act and they keep ramping it up. It goes from a 2 to 100 to 10000 fast. They use the subtleness of a sledgehammer to hammer home the themes of the movie. It's a Cronenberg type of film and I bet a lot of you will love it. I'm just not a body horror fan so the last 30 minutes ruined it for me.
