    Margeret Qualley. She's done some interesting things as an actress, even just this last year. I lowkey liked Drive Away Dolls, while I wasn't a huge fan of Kinds of Kindness. Seems a lot of critics and cinephiles were the other way around, :/

    The ending is undoubtedly the weak link/most questionable aspect of the movie. TBH, the Substance is probably the movie from 2024 I've spent more time thinking about than any other, as in thought provoking etc, and the ending I've waivered on, from they just didnt know how to stick the ending, to the ending being like an absurdist extent to ow completely disproportionate, in a film that the story is so much about balance, keeping it, for the end to be so completely out of all concept of balance, mirroring the story it is telling itself, sort of thing.

    I think I've got far too much free time to think about stuff like this, lol.

    Just watched Conclave.
    Was quite good until the
    Bullshit ending.

    The Truman Show. 3rd time I think

    Carrey's best role imo. Loved it. Starting to wonder if we're actually in it and the movie was taunting us :giggle1:

    Highly recommend The Father

    Anthony Hopkins plays a man with dementia. The film is shown from the perspective of the person with dementia. Very well done. Fair warning, if you have a family member with dementia you may find this quite upsetting. Brilliant film though.

    Hamilton.

    First time for me. My daughter adores it so I watched today but warned her I'm not a fan of musicals and don't be mad if I get bored.

    2 and a half hours later I don't think I closed my eyes incase I missed something.

    Top notch.
