Part 2/8:
Upon catching the film, many viewers, including myself, found it astoundingly unsettling yet compelling. "Substância" is often miscategorized as a horror film, but it transcends that genre. It invites viewers into a deep psychological exploration rather than merely inciting fear. The movie successfully intertwines grotesque elements with thought-provoking discussions about beauty and self-worth, forcing viewers to confront uncomfortable realities about society's demands.
