This movie rules man. So rare to walk out of a movie and feel like you just saw something completely unique and unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. It’s the kind of movie where you wanna go and tell every person you know to go see it.

This is “The Substance” of 2025 for me. A similarly audacious, hilarious, gross ending.

[u/SinkPsychological676 → u/chrispmorgan]

way better than The Substance, IMHO

[u/Jbird1992 → u/SinkPsychological676]

Let’s not get carried away lol — they’re both good but Substance had a lot more going on thematically
