Critics' reviews 20

"Even if the film occasionally risks overplaying its hand, Fargeat keeps furiously churning through ideas — in particular, about how the entertainment industry traumatises women into doing terrible things to themselves in order to remain employable."

"Fargeat makes various unmissable homages, to Vertigo and The Shining in particular. It’s the casting of Moore, though (...) that gives The Substance a startling connection with its themes (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
