Watched "Shell" today and i actually liked it more! i felt like it trusted us to get the point about "wow aren't beauty standards rough" and tried to explore the systems that benefit from that a bit more. What does it mean to be the one providing the treatments, and how does it warp your perspective on things like feminism and progress? How does the beauty/power hierarchy affect the relationships between women? Shell at least has a crack at thinking about it, and I didn't get that from the Substance. also i thought the decision to film it like an older 90's movie and all the aesthetics were gorgeous ​:cryign:​ like the weird watch phones and the retrofuturistic cars just gave it such a weird, ethereal feel
