I don't think they look good - as everyone else has said - multiple breast surgeries and those nipples were sewn back into place. She could have used a breast plate or at least edit those nipples in post production.

The performances, the look, not to mention that it goes from drama, to horror, to camp camp, is just amazing and it has a message without beating the audience over the head with it. In an age where we can do anything and everything to our bodies, it’s an important piece of work.

The shape of the breasts are quite good and the nipple itself is fine, but the areola is wonky as fuck. Surprised she doesn't fix that with areola tattooing, like what mastectomy patients do.

R90 - she's had multiple breast surgeries. It could be from either a breast lift but most likely from a new implant around the aereola.

They used to do implants under the breast - so the scars would hopefully be in the fold between the breast and the chest.

But they're now starting to do more breast surgeries where they make a cut around the aereola and implant there and sew up around the aereola. This is what this looks like because the incisions seem to both be on one side and not a complete 'sew up' from a breast lift.

She would look a lot better if she went a little lighter with her hair. Still very, very dark brown, but light enough to read as brown, not black. It’s only going to keep looking worse and worse as she gets older if she keeps it that unnatural color.

I’m assuming that cutting it is out of the question.

I saw it today. It’s a wild ride, to put it MILDLY. Still processing.

But since people seem to want to talk about the female leads’ bodies, yes they are on display a lot. It’s kind of the point of the movie.

Demi has a body that’s still nice enough that it’s not 100% physically suitable for the body needed for the Elizabeth character. But my god, Margaret Qualley is beyond belief.

If you are a person who tends toward squeamish, give this a wide berth. It’s body horror like I have only seen once recently — in one of the installments of the new VHS movie, “VHS Beyond.” And even that was fleeting and blurrily seen compared to this.

If that’s all Margaret Qualley she should be a shoo-in for a BSA nod.

I watched Fargeat’s Revenge at the weekend, that was good too. She’s an excellent director. She does like a long, maze-like passageway though. There was something similar in Revenge. Coincidentally, the male lead looked a lot like Denis Quaid in his prime.

Those of you critiquing a 60-year-old's (playing 50) body and comparing it to what a 23 year old's body should look like are PRECISELY the shallow, petty, lame bitches this movie is taking a swipe at. You are all the Dennis Quaid character in the movie. The fact that many of you haven't even seen the film and are content to just pick Demi's tits and ass apart is such an own-goal. If you actually watch the movie, you are not sitting there going "Tits, yuck, I'm a GAY!" You would understand exactly what is going on in Demi's mind and will be gripped by the lengths she goes to to deal with her insecurity and depression about her aging body. So if you want to dialogue about the photo, do some research at least. Her character is not supposed to be flawless, that is the entire fucking point. She's aged out of the male gaze, and she knows it, and succumbs to her insecurity, trying an experimental procedure in an attempt to turn back the clock to satisfy the Gaze of the Other. With disastrous consequences. It's a vulnerable and mesmerizing performance. I've seen the movie twice in the theater, it's shaping up to be a favorite that I will return to often.

Demi will be nominated for this.

I hope the soundtrack get's a nod, R149. It's fantastic. Drives the action so beautifully! I dare not dream about the actors getting noms because it's rare that a horror film gets that kind of treatment. But if I had my way, both Demi and Margaret would get nominated.

It's a Tales From the Crypt episode (remember that, bitches?) stretched out to two hours.

by Anonymousreply 152October 24, 2024 7:07 AM

I thought she was brave doing this role, and both her and Qualley were fantastic in it. Really terrific

Anyway, I loved the film, it was The Neon Demon meets Freaky Friday meets David Cronenberg's The Fly. It fully committed to the premise and to the logic of the plot. I could have done with much less of the Dennis Quaid performance though

by Anonymousreply 153October 24, 2024 8:39 AM

Dennis Quaid was the weakest link for me too, R153. Too cartoonish. I would have preferred a more understated, realistic performance. More sinister and sleazy, less Pee Wee's Playhouse.

One can catch a quick glimpse of Demi's ta-tas in the film, Blame it on Rio. Akin to a semi-generous pancake I'd say,

by Anonymousreply 155October 24, 2024 10:16 AM

I think the original casting of the late Ray Liotta (for the Dennis Quaid character) would have worked better.

R148, the interesting thing is that she’s quietly combative in the opening scene with Quaid. In no way aggressive…but firm. The seed has been planted but it’s not until she sees that note - “It changed my life” - the simple message and promise that has launched infinite products, beauty and health products and services, and it chips away at her sense of security. We all go through this, to some degree. She even throws promo USB stick in the bin - but it’s been planted and she eventually decides she needs this. Without this, she just isn’t good enough.

And the really heartbreaking thing is near the end when she pulls her portrait out of storage and looks at it and she can see that she was absolutely good enough as she was. She was beautiful. It’s so sad.

I think Demi is going to pull a nomination for this. She is an icon. Believe me, I was there. She was the woman that Redford paid $1M to spend one night with - and no one ever doubted it was worth it. She was the 1st actress to be paid a then record-breaking salary of $12M for one film. She posed nude on the cover of Vanity Fair when she was about to pop with her 1st child and was a total sensation. The Substance is an amazing cap to her career, thus far, and no matter what “the Academy” thinks of genre films, women will be marking their ballots to nominate her. She is amazing in the film.

She’s going to win the LAFC, maybe some other critics prizes. She’s a shoo-in for the GG & CC.

I love Saoirse Ronan but how do you play a “career” narrative when you’re competing with Demi Moore? You can’t. And Nicole is always trying to shock audiences with her over-heated performances but she’s never done anything like what Demi Moore does in The Substance. And she just pops right up out of nowhere and does it! Respect will be paid.

by Anonymousreply 160October 24, 2024 9:37 PM

I hope so, R160! She earned it with this one. And yeah, it's not your normal Academy movie but it's also not strictly horror. It's got comedy, brains, a message.

by Anonymousreply 161October 24, 2024 10:39 PM

She will not be nominated. I'm happy to see her back but Pam Anderson has a better shot than her. She's good in the movie but the actual movie is a bit of circus show. No one is going to take it too serious.

[QUOTE] She will not be nominated. I'm happy to see her back but Pam Anderson has a better shot than her. She's good in the movie but the actual movie is a bit of circus show. No one is going to take it too serious.

Yet, audiences and critics alike ARE taking it seriously and it’s even popping up as a possible nominee in bellwether category conversations surrounding Costume, Art Direction, and even Sound (which is very effectively used in the film).

Which is to say nothing of the unexpected financial box office success it’s had this month, Demi Moore’s recent Gotham Award nomination, and the media play it’s getting in countless think pieces and comeback interviews with Demi. The film also became available for streaming yesterday so will gain even more new audience in the coming weeks.

Even the effect it had on Halloween costumes this year is indicative of a “cultural event” rather than some one-off freak show oddity that is turning off voters and audiences which you seem to be pushing with zero evidence other than your own opinion of it.

The Substance is happening and, depending on how well it goes over with the Academy, could even end up with a large nomination tally unheard of for this genre of film.

It was released in mid September and is still showing in my city's multiplexes.

People are still talking about it and recommending it.

The Academy loves a comeback story, and will view this as a career award for Demi. She’s definitely getting the nom.

I don't think it's inconceivable that Demi will get a nomination.

Certainly for the Golden Globes, the Wicked girls, the Spanish tranny and June Squibb will get musical comedy noms, possibly with Marianne Jean Baptiste, leaving Demi to get a drama nom.

I saw a Twitter post about The Room Next Door this week and people were laughing at how bad it was.

by Anonymousreply 172November 1, 2024 10:18 PM

I don't see her winning, but she certainly deserves a nomination. Think Burstyn in The Exorcist.

I loved the movie — it’s a lucid nightmare with lots of symbolism, over-the-top style and saturated color like Lynch, Kubrick, and DePalma… that alone makes it polarizing.

What I can't figure out is why those nipples weren't repaired? The cosmetic surgeon could've also done touch-up makeup tattoos around the areolas to make them appear rounder.

If anything, R174 it's a meditation on aging. Weight has little to do with it. But you knew that, you're just being a little shit.

Demi is channeling some Jessica Lange in the movie, which is a good thing because Lange would have been excellent in the role.

by Anonymousreply 179November 1, 2024 11:14 PM

R179, Jessica is not beautiful. She couldn’t do this role. Moore is gorgeous and has a fit body.

by Anonymousreply 180November 1, 2024 11:17 PM

I meant the Jessica Lange 20 years ago, R180. Of course she could not play the role today.

by Anonymousreply 181November 1, 2024 11:21 PM

This is a physical role, and Demi Moore excels at that. Maybe Sharon Stone could have done it. Lange?…No.

I WISH I was getting paid to promote the film, R186. I could use the cash. I just really liked it. I saw it twice in the theater. Believe it or not, opinions are subjective and you may disagree with another person's view. We may not all like the same things. Crazy, I know. I loved the film it's okay that you don't.

I don’t get why the set was dressed like The Shining.

by Anonymousreply 190November 2, 2024 8:41 PM

I agree Liotta would have been much better than Quaid- he somehow makes his villains likeable. I found it about 20 minutes too long, and the 3rd act was ridiculous. I was distracted by the blue and orange palette- it was too obvious- oh let's throw an orange jeep in the background, orange and blue bottles in the bathroom, the clothes, set design. When I was watching the showgirls, I was surmising that they were Crazy Horse dancers, because those costumes are very very French burlesque. And don't you know, it was filmed in France.

Demi should get a nomination, but no horror film has ever been nominated for acting, director, best film. It has to be a "thriller", a la Silence of the Lambs, Se7en, and the Shape of Water. Yes, it's a black comedy, but it's horror through and through.

by Anonymousreply 191November 3, 2024 5:25 AM

Oh yes, and Monstroelisasue was definitely not Margaret. Usually creatures are played by either stunt or contortionists.
