Joey B I didn't think I could watch a movie that made me feel more uncomfortable than "the substance," but this movie did. Very different movie, but I had that similar since of uneasiness and dread throughout. This movie was beautifully made. From the cinematography to the acting. It's a very disturbing and uncomfortable watch but that's the point. These issues are important to acknowledge. I found myself in so many of the characters and I understand them. The duality between how SA can effect people so differently is an interesting topic that this film delves into. How SA lead to Neil being hypersexual and Brian being basically asexual was so accurate and telling of what it's like to be a victim. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/25 Full Review Lluis F Everyone should see it at least two times to really feel the message. The way this movie gets into your skin is crazy and it's one of the best representation regarding SA to young kids, you can genuinely feel disgusted in the best way ever, I can't stretch it enough how amazing this movie is to a technical point, it's not only a movie to me but rather an icon regarding one of the most controversial topics present in our society's modern world. Also a little side note on how respectful it is when talking about the topic, being a pioneer in it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Glitching _ This movie genuinely broke me up as an SA victim, it really shows the cruel reality of how it feels and the victims are men which aren't usually common on movies that touch this kind of topics. I see unfair that people give it a lower rating just because they don't understand it or because it was way too strong for them since that's the whole point, the movie was made to make you feel uncomfortable the same way the victims were.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Kendall M I find the film fascinating and the photography of it, let's not even mention it. The score is 5 stars for me, because I really loved it, it made me cry and feel bad for days on end, but I do consider the plot to be very cruel, sad, bad and disgusting, speaking of what the film itself is about, because of the themes it touches on, but I really recommend that you see this film once in your life.
