The Substance ★★★★☆

The film can’t really help replicating the ideas its critiquing with glamourising the sexualisation of young women and marking ageing as something monstrous—despite the utter lack of any subtlety I could see, à la Fight Club, people coming out of this just thinking that Sue is hot and being old sucks—but it goes so damn hard with what it does that I cannot just get swept up in it.
