Crazy idea. Interesting topics of women as objects, self hate, toxic positivity. The body horror is pretty strong in the first half. The style of the substance company is super nice.
Would have been nice to know more about Elizabeth's motivation. Also, Sue stays very bland. It feels like they did not know what to do for the ending so everything ends in some weird, but hilarious body and blood fest. I felt the horror part of the movie was stronger.
