60 of 380 · most liked firstThe Substance is such a brilliant movie. Filled to the brim with blood and gore, but the scariest scene is when Demi Moore can’t get herself to go on a date because of crippling self-doubt.
positive · AI labelView post →THE SUBSTANCE is a bold science fiction film that dares to imagine: what if LA were walkable
positive · AI labelView post →yeah Demi didn’t get the Oscar. but she has something better: The Substance is already a cult classic and a midnight movie. people will enjoy her and the movie again and again for years. that’s the beauty of horror movies. they’re eternal and so are the great performances in them.
positive · AI labelView post →‘The Substance’ marks a milestone as the 7th horror film to receive a Best Picture nomination at the #Oscars .
neutral · AI labelView post →Related to conversations around singing in Wicked, I just feel like since the pandemic, people forgot how to go to the movies. The amount of people on their phones, talking, singing, is astounding. When I saw the Substance some person just answered the phone? ON SPEAKER? DURING THE MOVIE?
neutral · AI labelView post →The Substance was good & one can be disappointed Demi didn’t win & it’s always important to unpack ageism/sexism in film, but I’m not convinced that demeaning Mikey’s talent by claiming she only won because male voters decided with their dicks is the bold feminist stance some posters think it is.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched THE SUBSTANCE again, this time for family movie night (the joys of having an older teenager!) Liked it even more. A hilarious, profound meditation on why you should carefully follow the instructions provided for your new medication
positive · AI labelView post →Iconic actor Demi Moore has won her first Golden Globe. She is taking home the award for best female actor in a film — musical or comedy for her role in "The Substance." Follow live updates: cnn.it/3W67yUI
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Substance this morning and may put off lunch for a bit (Great movie)
positive · AI labelView post →I see debates about whether a film has the right to not be subtle (in this case, Mickey 17 and The Substance), while for six years I've had people who don't understand the messages conveyed by SW, Starship Troopers, Star Trek... Subtlety or lack of it is just a choice, it's the result that counts.
neutral · AI labelView post →‘THE SUBSTANCE’ is now an Oscar-winning film. See the full winners list: bit.ly/OscarWins25
neutral · AI labelView post →I rarely write online film crit any more but made an exception for The Substance, which is a documentary. If anyone under 50 tries to tell you its not "feminist" or not "reflective of women's lived experience", your wise old horror-nonna here has words to the contrary filmint.nu/coralie-farg...
positive · AI labelView post →i am so glad Demi Moore won for The Substance. She's had the chops for years and winning for a horror movie is perfection. You go, Demi.

neutral · AI labelView post →Reading reviews from people who didn’t like The Substance saying that it should have been “feminist” look if you can’t figure out what’s happening in a movie it’s ok to ask for help
positive · AI labelView post →Moore, 62, won the Golden Globe for her starring role in The Substance. She said the film is the start of a new chapter in her career: "It's just this wonderful new time of exploration and discovery."

neutral · AI labelView post →Don Mancini said Heart Eyes is the most fun he’s had with a genre movie since The Substance. He brought Jennifer Tilly as his +1. I’m dead I can die now.
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw this film dork tweet something like "THE SUBSTANCE is passable but only if you view it as a comedy about vanity" and like, yeah bro, CHINATOWN is a mystery about plumbing, do you think Coralie Fargeat just tripped on a banana peel and accidentally made a movie
positive · AI labelView post →A short while ago, I told @scalzi.com that I thought Poltergeist was two thirds of a good movie stapled to one third of a bad movie. He disagreed. God has since punished me for my hubris, because I just watched The Substance, which is most of a superb movie nailed to…a film. That exists.

neutral · AI labelView post →ConnorEatsPants should have asked "Adrian Dittman" what he thinks of the movie The Substance
neutral · AI labelView post →This might sound weird but I feel like the Barbie movie and The Substance have the same ending with a long feminist speech delivered to shitty male entertainment executives
neutral · AI labelView post →The Substance: really thought this was gonna be some doppelgänger movie but it’s just about what it’s like to have a shitty roommate.
negative · AI labelView post →"30 years ago, when I was 17 years old, I made a little Star Wars film.” In honor of May the Fourth, watch The Substance director Coralie Fargeat’s homemade Star Wars film 🌌 boxd.it/agy

neutral · AI labelView post →Highly recommend the new horror film Saccharine (2026). There have been many body horror films riding the coattails of ‘The Substance’ lately, but this one truly had something meaningful to say about EDs, body image and femininity.

neutral · AI labelView post →Best movie of 2024: The Substance
positive · AI labelView post →That a film as visceral and sticky as THE SUBSTANCE has been such a core part of this year's Oscars season... What MUBI achieved with this film is genuinely thrilling and groundbreaking for distribution.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Substance is everything I wanted the Barbie Movie to be
positive · AI labelView post →"CLAYFACE." Full review embargoes lift tomorrow but it's good 👍 Old-fashioned mid-budget horror movie with aspirations to a male-POV take on "THE SUBSTANCE" - sure, let's do one of these for every Batman-nemesis if they can be this compact and fun 😁
neutral · AI labelView post →"Funny that a movie called "The Substance" doesn't have any" me if I was annoying and didn't like The Substance

positive · AI labelView post →The Substance: For Boys! is a good take on this material. A horror movie for all the eating disorders we don't call eating disorders because men have them that they're picking up from various influencers.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching “The Substance” like bitch, really 😒
negative · AI labelView post →THE SUBSTANCE writer/director Coralie Fargeat created a STAR WARS fan film 👀 The director of one of 2024’s body horror phenomenon helmed a fan film with actors in homemade costumes, stop motion animation, toys, and more.
