The Substance

2024

★½ 9

The epiphany I’ve come to is that The Substance severely lacks the substance (yes I am an intellectual) to justify its absolutely facinorous 140-minute runtime. To add finesse to injury, Fargeat takes you for a child and feels the need to beat its (feeble and relatively uncooked) message into your skull repeatedly to make sure you get it. Shave those scenes off and let me get home early. Nice special effects.

Perfect Days

2023

★★★★ Liked 3

Dreams of light superimposed with moments from an unlikely afternoon. Patti Smith’s voice bridging a chasm between two generations. A layered life recounted to the pulse of an old song, through silent misty eyes.

Take mundane occurrences and interactions for granted and you just might miss moments that reveal life’s true beauty
