Over the summer I got the chance to see “The Substance” at a mystery screening event at my local movie theater. I went with zero expectations as I didn’t even know beforehand what movie I was going to be watching.
By the time the credits rolled, I was enraptured and convinced I’d just seen not only the best dark thriller of 2024 but one of the year’s very best movies, period. Several weeks (and one rewatch) later, and I’m even more confident of that assessment.
