"The film does have some okay moments here and there. Mainly being the presence of Matt Smith who plays Parson Collins, who had many in the cinema laughing on and off during his appearances throughout the film. I only wish Matt Smith was in there a lot more than he was. Sam Riley (Mr. Darcy) and Lily James (Elizabeth Bennet) play both of the lead characters and are entertaining enough. No one really had the best dialogue to work with, with many moments simply defaulting to a fight sequence to pass the time." -Bryan Weatherall (Resident Entertainment)
TNS: "The Substance is a body horror film that risks turning away an audience for some of the best bloodiest scenes in recent memory."
In case this needs to be stated explicitly, this contains huge spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux and the film's ending.
Oh no, Joker: Folie à Deux! Look at how they massacred my boy.
