Young, Hot, Horrible - Coralie Fargeat's The Substance

November brings with it a return to the theaters as I venture into the multiplex (and Mr. Chavez grabs up a streaming subscription) for Coralie Fargeat's critically acclaimed attack on Womens' Aging in Tinsel Town, the Male Gaze, Vanity, with a Twilight Zone-like look at an industry that both makes stars and disposes of them in the most cruel and emotionless of ways. There's a whole lot to admire in Coralie Fargeat's sophomore effort, however how much of it is successful, and how much of it is obvious and labored, is what will drive this discussion. Take a listen and see if you agree with our assessments of this art-house effort that is garnering a great deal of attention for its audacity and the performances of Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley.
