Substance

Pretty  girls should always smile

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

Year: 2014
Director: Coralie Fargeat

Writer: Coralie Fargeat
Starring: Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, Dennis Quaid, Edward Hamilton-Clark, Gore Abrams, Oscar Lesage, Christian Erickson, Robin Greer, Tom Morton, Hugo Diego Garcia, Daniel Knight, Olivier Raynal
What is this about: Elisabeth is beautiful celebrity making career with her looks, but when job opportunities start to fade because of her age she agrees to try experimental medical care.

Content warnings: Violence, body horror
Best about it: I loved the absurdness, especially during conversations. The movie is entertaining yet it has a slightly surreal art movie feeling. The very trivial everyday theme of women expexted to be pretty and looking youg has become the matter of life and death.


How did I felt: Amused, entertained, repulsed
Goodness: 4,5/5
Weirdness: 5/5
