Elisabeth Sparkle, renowned for an aerobics show, faces a devastating blow on her 50th birthday as her boss fires her. Amid her distress, a laboratory offers her a substance which promises to transform her into an enhanced version of herself.

This movie destroyed expectations. It's an amazing body horror film.
One of the best mind F movies in a long time
The scene of her not being able to leave for her date because she kept trying to "fix" herself is sad. She's held prisoner by her own delusion caused by external pressures. Love the message of this film.
That scene is crushing. The texts piling up was wrenching. Been there done that.
That scene actually make me tear up. It’s heartbreaking to watch even if you haven’t been in that situation, it’s crushing if you have.
6:23 lol leg warmers are used by dancers to keep the ankles warmer than the rest of the body to minimize the chances of injuring that area. it’s especially handy when doing jumps
This movie focuses so much on Elisabeth's journey in dealing with aging and trying to maintain what Hollywood considers "beautiful", that we never really get any details on why her character is the way she is or explore other aspects of her life.
The best hints that we get, however, are through Sue! Who serves as a representation of what Elisabeth was like in her prime years and how fame got in her head to the point she became narcissistic (the huge portrait of herself in her condo symbolizes that attribute) and selfish!
Which more than likely resulted in her losing meaningful connections with friends and family, which is why she lives a lonely life. In a way, her dealing with the predicament of her career starting to fade and losing her relevance is a consequence of what she's allowed fame to do to her but is desperately trying to escape facing it.
One of my friends movies of the year. Demi deserves an Oscar for this.
You’re darn right, so does
6:30 “And each other…” 😂💯
I caught the Jerry Springer reference!
I have heard that Universal was originally going to distribute this movie but chickened out when they realised how wild it was getting. MUBI obviously realised how great the film is and bought the film realising this could bring in more subscribers. It was only on in the UK cinemas for a few weeks and it was the first film I have seen in years where I left the cinema absolutely buzzing with a huge grin!!
Doctors still use Pagers mainly because hospitals are notorious for bad signals, so having a Pager is a full proof way of always being able to contact someone when needed
A very well made movie, and I think the director is going to become a major filmmaker
with this movie in the theater I cried, I screamed, I laughed, I felt every possible feeling and I left the theater wanting to see the movie again.
i think it was on purpose that the time period was kept vague (pager, newspaper, 80's workout style) but Harvey had an iphone/ smartphone so it's kinda vague
Yes exactly. Wish people would stop trying to place it. It’s clearly not in our universe. Like black mirror
I interpreted as the MEN'S mindset about women was stuck in the past.
It’s kinda like It Follows in that regard. The time period in that movie isn’t really stated either. Some of it looks like it’s set in the 80’s, other times it looks like it’s set in modern day.
@@skyofthelivingdead yeaa It Follows. Exactly. Also the Substance clearly isn’t set quite in our universe or dimension at least.
Doctors and nurses still use pagers to this day
It's like drunk-you and sober-you. You have vague recollections of which each of you do. Drunk-you has little regard for your safety. Also it's. always "just one more" when comes to respecting the 7 day balance.
Was as amazing experience in the cinema !
Coralie Fargeat, the director, also did a film back in 2017 I love and have on blu-ray called "REVENGE" another amazing film.
The sound design in this movie is absolutely disgusting, and deserves an Oscar
I haven't even seen it. I've only watched reactions and I can't stand Dennis Quaid's chewing.😂🤢
@@DianaWoods-n7r That's the true horror in this movie 💀
It’s very effective in a theater with a good sound system
Her commenti "It's narcissism" really does unlock a lot of explanation about Elisabeth's behavior if you think of her as a benign narcissist whose worldview was broken by the firing and she'll do _anything_ to re-establish it.
I did not see it as narcissism. I saw it as crippling lack of self confidence and social anxiety. The end is we seeing her as she sees herself. And a narcissist would not have their world view shattered.
a modern fairytale
Congrats to both of you for watching this movie. I doubt that I could tolerate the horror of it all! This film should definitely be nominated and win some Academy Awards. Demi Moore especially should win for Best Actress. She was exceptional!
they are one. Elisabeth resents herself, it was inevitable that Sue would share the same sentiment. Elisabeth wanted to be young, when she gets that chance via Sue, she is so overcome by the adoration and praise and ‘love’ she gets that she becomes more and more resistant to switching. As Sue, she is lost in the pink cloud of celebrity. Elisabeth wanted what Sue gave her but since she still has to live in her own body and suffer from Sue’s choices, she can’t help but dissociate in a sense and look at Sue as an individual who is hurting her. Because they are one, Sue does the same. Elisabeth is forgetting that they are one, only concerned about what she had when she was young and at the same time blaming her younger self for everything that has happened to her.
the fact that everything happens in the bathroom, being the place where you expose yourself the most and hiding the bodies there as if it were something shameful, is an incredible metaphor.
Shades of Hitchcock
Shit, didn't even think of that.
This movie gives me Basket Case aesthetics. I loved it.
You two are fantastic! I really enjoyed this reaction!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
the mirror scene really hurts because body dysmorphia is really serious and people don't take it seriously; As a trans woman I experience that plus gender dysphoria and that scene really broke me.
Lmao love this movie 😂 and y’all’s faces the entire movie❤❤😂😂
La mejor película y la mejor actuación…..Oscar para Demi Moore en La Sustancia.🙌
A friend of mine went to a punk show in the eighties where the pits, fights and stage dives were so nuts, he broke out laughing and said this show is so out of control. That’s how I felt about the last forty minutes of The Substance. At some point you just break out laughing and say this movie is so totally out of control
I see a lot of confusion about whether sue and Elizabeth share the same consciousness. They do. That’s why you keep seeing “you are one”. It’s only 1 mind. It’s just that their personality seems to switch between sue and Elizabeth. A good example to prove that they are the same mind is in the beginning Elizabeth writes Sue down on the calendar. As far as I know she hasn’t heard or seen sues name in the world yet
This movie is simply brilliant, my god, what agony 🔥
I've watched so many reactions to this movie and all the dudes see the good in Fred and most women are just creeped out. Even before the paper drops lol
''now it's stuck like that forever'' lol 😂spongebob close-up vibes!
Fun fact, most hospitals requires all medical staff to carry a pager...or whatever the hell they call it according to my sis in law GP, since phones are not allowed in ICU and many other faculties because of discretion for the patient they carry a pager for urgent messages and calls...actually it can't even be called a pager since you can speak on it as well😂 ,but yes security and confidentiality are the main reasons🎉
I don't understand how she got the job. She would have to have a social security number a birth certificate, open a bank account which requires ID, W2s, and etc.
I'm a gay married man but having her screech scream at 47:35 has me feeling distinctly not gay.
What about 55:41? Lol
@LonerFez69 doesn't give me the same tingle
I like that he did his research lol 😊
This was one of the best films of this year by far it impressed me so much I sort out the Director's orther film before this called Revenge and that's great too.
This feels like a long episode of Black Mirror
@Snoopers Gonna Snoop so who’s side are you in for movie of the year: #TEAMELISABETHSPARKLE!
Elisasue 4 lyfe
Monstro Elisasue
Girl go to bed lmao
This is yet a second great film by Coralie Fargeat. Her first film is Revenge (2017) recommend watching that one too.
Can’t wait 🎉
Demi Moore just turned 62 a few weeks ago, in this movie she’s supposed to be 50.
love this director and their previous movie aswell
I think the reason they don’t have the memory of each other’s actions is just bc they have two separate brains, but the same consciousness.
with two separate brains, the memories couldn’t be stored from the other’s actions, so elisabeth can’t remember what happened but she was the only consciousness making decisions.
Also they are very similar. Theyre both very into themselves but for some reason people sympathize with her older character. But she’s very vain. We only see it more in her younger self. She’s alone with seemingly no friends. And she wasn’t concerned with Fred’s feelings.
Everyone asks why such a simple, anachronistic name of SUE was chosen. It's taken a whole month of watching the movie twice and watching numerous You Tube reviews until tonight, my brain experienced a revelation.
SUE = suicide. The sound of, 'Sue' corresponds to the first syllable of, 'su-i-cide. Essentially Elisabeth Sparkle commits suicide by a related version of, 'suicide by cop'. Elisabeth's clone, Sue, kills her and thereafter suffers her own gruesome, horrendous death after misusing the once-only activation drug out of sheer desperation. Sue was not supposed to be quite a clone as such since the movie kept stating, "You Are One". Both shared the same consciousness but separate egos, as someone else remarked. But even with the same consciousness both quickly developed separate personalities because of different life experiences, just as identical twins have separate consciousnesses and personalities.
they are the same and they are one. they arent 2 different ppl. they have the same mind they are the same person but they are just living 2 different lives. elizabeth is insecure she wants to stay in the younger body. and due to sue being young and living the dream she thinks like a young women who just became rich and famous. gets to their head. but they are 1 person
Loved your reaction!! Loved your humor and hilarious edits! Loved your thought provoking takes!! Loved the fashions i.e 🐉 robe+💛coat. Glad the algorithm did its thing to stumble across your channel.
Deliciously disgusting this film is! It has style+substance🧪💉A social commentary on aging with body horror elements using practical effects, impeccable sound+editing. No amount of change will ever be enough to appease everyone much less undeserving, misogynistic men who do not actually appreciate women for who they are, but only how fckable they deem women to be.
Sue represents the younger version of Elisabeth, still impressionable, full of faux confidence bc the patriarchy has beholden a woman’s value to beauty and youth, still fertile. Elisabeth chases her youth in the form of Sue much like someone that keeps running back to the plastic surgeon’s office. And there are consequences bc one begins to stray so far from their original appearance, dare I say monstrous.
The greatest tenderness the character gives herself is when ElisaSue emerges and the greatest vacation she gives herself is the absence of a body for judgment. Just a mere amoeba with Elisabeth as the nucleus of the cell.
The violence we put ourselves through comparing ourselves to our own younger version of ourselves when we look at pics of us a decade ago. We must be kinder to ourselves.
I like that her yellow coat symbolized the egg in the beginning and then we see Sue wearing the coat to emphasize they are one post injection.
*Outward beauty, but inner ugliness to thyself. The enemy is the inner me🩷🩷
She dressed like Carmen Sandiego. lol.
Demi is in her 60s but I think she’s younger in this, like 50s
Y parece de 40. Muy bella y estupenda actriz en todas sus películas. En La Sustancia está espectacular.
She looks a lot better.
white gold pretty sleepy over there
She recognized the guy with the helmet so shes concious and also otherwise whats the point
Just started this reaction guys so idk if yall ask or wonder but I'll go ahead anways and say😂, YES, Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley both went completely nude/full frontal for this film and I watched an interview recently where Margaret was talking about this film and going nude and what Margaret's husband told her about doing that scene and that he was joking around about the fact that their married and no one else will get to experience what you see in the film and what other guys have missed out on. He was fuckin around with her but it's still funny he had a good laugh over that.
Lol at 47:05!
The film ain't gross, it's the society who put pressure on these women that is gross.
leg warmers are fashion. fashion doesn't have utility. there is no purpose for leg warmers, and there is no purpose for fashion.
🥚
The Fred's scene was heartbreaking and i'm a dude.
I'm sure it was more awful for spectators women.
We need to fight those beauty standards, all together.
7:41 and what the f does that matter. That part pisses me off lol. Like who cares
I’ve seen a bunch of reactions by now and I can only question myself after witnessing this pattern on every reaction video: Why do straight men are always TRYING to be funny? as if they feel the need to say something “funny” on every scene even when nothing funny is happening. I don’t get it.
I mean, the metaphorical microscope many women feel is self Imposed, or their own paranoia. I don't think it's a gender specific commentary, I think, in general, it's a commentary on the human psyche. Both genders undergo their own form of that self-imposed internal microscope. Take people who go to the gym for example, as someone who goes to the gym. I can say from experience I'm not there to stare at people, I'm there to work on my self-image and health. It's easy to get lost in that, and have it be our own undoing in the long run.
You didn't react when Denis didn't wash his hands !
Loved your reaction. This is my favorite film of the year (and in years) & I’ve been pretty much watching any reaction that comes out of this. You two not only got pretty much all the themes, nuances and ideas that were expressed, you both were so respectful & empathetic towards Elisabeth’s journey. Major props especially to White Gold catching some of the thematic details really well.
SCHIZOPHRENIA
In the movie she's just turned 50, in real life Demi Moore is 61
And she looks fantastic. Anybody who would turn her down for a date needs their head examined.
MUBI is not foreign and it's pronounced MOOBEE
