1. Kan inte tro att den existerar
Cannes just got splattered. THE SUBSTANCE is the most batshitfuckinginsane movie of the last 20 years. It is on such a freakish level that it's impossible to believe it exists. Demi Moore goes there and @coraliefargeat has carved a contemporary horror unlike anything you've seen. pic.twitter.com/yzuFSbenwY

2. Den bästa filmen i tävlan
The Substance is absolutely fucking insane and by *far* the best film in Competition so far. an instant body horror classic, equal parts Freaky Friday and The Fly, Demi Moore going full demented. Loved.

4. What the f***
It’s impossible to overstate how fucking insane and wildly entertaining The Substance is. I needed this. Still buzzing from the unanimous “what the fuck” screaming and howling from the audience. Exceptionally well directed, fantastic sound and makeup. I want this to be huge pic.twitter.com/w77BB7KKXc

5. Bästa body horror-filmen?
THE SUBSTANCE absolutely rules!! Perhaps one of the greatest body horror of all time? Picture of Dorian Gray by way of The Fly following a Hollywood starlet past her prime doing anything for her youth. Give Demi Moore an Oscar nom. Bloody, audacious, hilarious. A blast! #Cannes pic.twitter.com/ca0gke90SP

6. Cyniskt skräp
Judging by the reaction in Debussy, people are going to start calling THE SUBSTANCE a feminist masterpiece but it's the most misogynistic, self-hating and cynical garbage one could ever conjure. Pure abjection

7. Äckligast sedan "Flugan"
THE SUBSTANCE is histrionic and gratuitous and gooey and I don’t think I could have loved it more. Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley are fearless but biggest props to prosthetics designer Pierre-Olivier Persin, who’s made the most exhilarating gross-out since THE FLY. #cannes2024

8. Mörkt, roligt, briljant
THE SUBSTANCE - I want to believe this started with someone taking Demi Moore's name literally. Jazzercise body horror film is dark, funny, bloody and brilliant, Qualley brings quality, Quaid hasn't been this fun in years, a pure injection of delight into the #cannes2024 comp pic.twitter.com/u1yio7xbAk

9. Välkommen tillbaka, Demi Moore!
THE SUBSTANCE is body horror insanity that makes Brundlefly look quaint. Prepare for a Demi Moore renaissance and an exhilarating Margaret Qualley in this disgusting, brilliant feminist Hollywood satire, the first movie I’ve loved on the ground at Cannes.@davidehrlich’s review: https://t.co/Z7PXzJC4g3
