I been avoiding The Substance, due to my incredibly weak stomach when it comes to body horror. However, I loved your take on the parallels to the very real and cruel beauty industry. I can see how this film is an effective commentary, I may have to attempt in watching. Great read!
I like this take, both because I’m an instant fan of your writing and because I admire the graciousness of writing about something you didn’t love while acknowledging its necessity. That’s rarer than it should be. This is a movie I have wanted to write about. In fact, it’s the first movie I’ve wanted to write about in nearly a decade. But everyone has been so loud and I am so, so rusty! Haha, you keep inspiring me.
