I loved her in The Substance but - just as I love all Nicole Kidmans performances - it makes me sad to see how strange looking most actresses over 40's look in Hollywood. I know the pressure of the industry must be a lot to deal with but it completely takes me out of a movie or tv show now. Surely it's better to look old than it is to look unnatural. I just think of Frances McDormand in Three Billboards where she looks her age but it means she can play a versatile amount of roles.

Idk maybe this is a judgmental rant but as woman not in her 20's media consumption is exhausting at the moment.

Edit: I know this is probably extra harsh considering the movies topic and this interview

Does she look unnatural?

She looked great in the movie to me.

[ellie_andrews]

IA. she's obviously had work done but imo, I don't think it's gotten as bad as Kidman's.

[automaticpeople]

Yeah, her skin still looked normal in the movie. She still had texture and wrinkles.

This movie has really stayed with me and made me not only want to be kinder to myself but to make more of an effort to build & strengthen emotional connections. Elizabeth was all alone and that was ultimately her undoing because her self loathing manifested and split when she split and made it so she was fighting herself while claiming it to be someone else. She needed love and community more than any sort of experimental drug.

Then again, I can acknowledge that as a cis gender man I probably will never get the pressures women face societally about their looks and aging so lemme keep my comments there.

I don't even know yet how to talk about The Substance without sounding like the lifelong Demi stan I apparently am.

[ellie_andrews]

Really loved The Substance! And she was so good in it! The scene where she's getting ready for her date made me cry. Like, what woman can't relate to that? (And ohmygosh he seemed so sweet which made it even more heartbreaking.) I hope she gets some awards recognition but we know how ignored horror performances are. 🙄

[alienjive]

Sweet??? That nerd gave her his number out of that dirty dookie tobacco water lmao

[ellie_andrews]

He's awkward ok! 😅

I wasn’t the biggest fan of The Substance. I’m not a fan in general of its path towards the end I guess? idk but I thought she was amazing in it

[josiefier]

IA about the end. Maybe I need to rewatch, but the time jump was confusing and then it basically turned into Repo the Genetic Opera

[lawofcosines]

It's not a very good film, and honestly I understand that it's fantastical and all, but I honestly can't see how an aerobics show on daytime was a ratings hit in that world. And I also think it undermines Demi as an actress because there's so much commentary there about her career related to her body (Striptease, Indecent Proposal, Disclosure) but the director is uninterested in that layer.

Love the memes tho! But it's also Mubi trying to do an A24, marketing is substance

[primimproper]

I also felt that it was aiming for an A24 feel. I will never watch it again, it is a gross and bad movie. It's a case of "bad movie, excellent performances" for me.
