Coralie Fargeat had a solid debut with Revenge but she knocked it out with The Substance. Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley both deliver haunting performances as thre same person, and Dennis Quad chews the scenery every moment he gets. Fargeat shows prowess of Stanley Kubrick, Darren Arronoffsky, David Cronenberg and Nicolas Refn here. This is body horror at its finest, even if the last act goes on a bit too long, but I get what the point was. Much like many films in recent years this combines art house and exploitation perfectly.
