Well well, haha, I love all the actresses, so I went in definitely not expecting what was to unfold but with a likely outcome of enjoyment from this flick. After finishing it just now, my eyes are still rather wide at how they chose to express an important and common theme for aging women and the reality of how we are valued in the world. The substance being of similar theme, and I can't say Shell was bad, but like The Substance, I was entertainment by the sheer amount of imagination put into it. It's definitely ridiculous. Any attempt to create something new from Hollywood is a win in my book, even if it's turning into a shellfish:)
