The Substance (2024)

Brief male rear nudity is the only male nudity in the entire film.

Males ogle female's heavily exposed & sexualized bodies.

Lengthy sexualized female breast & buttocks nudity is displayed of many topless Showgirls in thongs. Graphically aged & mutated nude female breasts, bodies & buttocks are explicitly shown in vivid detail including brief female genitalia. Implied sex features strong sexual discourse with intense kissing & body fondling.

Graphic & pervasive full frontal female nudity with explicit close camera shots of nude breasts & buttocks inclusive of slow self caressing. Extensive & explicit hyper sexualized female imagery of several scantily clad females performing graphically eroticized dance & exercise movements with gratuitous zoomed in body shoots of heavily exposed crotches, bodies, cleavage & buttocks. Glamourized scantly clad & partially nude youthful female imagery featured at length in daily home living routines.

There are scenes of strong gore, injury detail and mutilation, including close-up grisly images.

There are scenes of self-harm.

Multiple sequences involving blood transfusions.

A character graphically stitches another's back. The stitches are seen piercing the skin in close up, and this scene lasts a while.

The gore is fairly realistic through most of the film, although the final and most gory sequence is the opposite: very stylised.

Strong language (20 uses of f***'), as well as milder terms.

Name-calling (monster, freak, stupid, gross, old, fat, disgusting).

Frequent scenes of characters injecting themselves with an unnamed drug.

Characters smoke cigarettes.

Alcohol is present in some scenes.

High impact injury detail, blood and gore.

The consumption of food in this movie is done and shown in a very disturbing and sickening way.

A vehicle crashes into a person's car, spinning the vehicle around. This scene comes out of nowhere and will make viewers jump.

The theme of this movie darkly depicts self-hatred and being pushed to adhere to beauty standards.

The second half of the movie is very intense and disturbing.
