Having caused quite the positive stir at Cannes, The Substance is this year’s most discussed movie… possibly one of the more controversial movies at that. What is the “substance” and how does it work? Why would Elizabeth take such a risk? What are the internal and external pressures that influence her decision? How is Elizabeth a representative of any woman who feels they will be replaced by someone thinner, younger, and more obedient? Who is Sue and how does she fit into this adventure down the rabbit hole? What motivates Sue and how does this affect the viewer’s perception? Who is Monstro and what does she signify? Does the third act deliver that final punch? How have audiences reacted to this film? Is it just a “body-horror” movie or is there a deeper meaning? What is the message of this movie trying to tell? Is it just hype or a real discussion starter? Join us as Juan Sanmiguel, Vicky Jakubowski, and Kim Farah debate the good, the bad, and the really ugly aspects of The Substance.
