Only had to pay $6 on Prime tonight if anyone is interested but still hasn't seen it. Not a lot to add since we agree with all of the comments here.

I thought this movie had a cool premise overall, and had a decent first hour, but thought it devolved in the second half and was unrecognizable by the end.

I also felt that the movie violated its own plot device by having the two leads fight each other towards the end. I was under the impression that it was the same person (which the movie outright says with "there is no she. You are one.") and she was reliving her life as a young person again. I thought she was keeping both sets of memories. They spend this whole time setting up the rule that only one version can be animated at a time then just break the rule by having them both be awake. Didn't make any sense to me.

The acting was solid. The soundtrack was cool, too. Not sure about the message, though. Is it a satire about our throwaway culture and obsession with youth and sex? Then why was the nudity so damn gratuitous? Seems pretty ironic to me. Or is it greedy men in Hollywood bad?

Wow
What the heck?!? Never seen anything like the Substance. More gratuitous nudity from huge stars than I've seen in a movie combined with batsh*t crazy/gross special effects. The last half hour was out there.

This is the kind of movie that would have been huge at early teen slumber parties in the 80s.

Saw it tonight. Wow. Did sort of feel like the last twenty minutes fell apart but I liked it.

Demi Moore held nothing back on this one. Ending is hard to describe
