I completely agree with your take on The Substance. For all the focus on beauty and sexuality, the intensity of the satire eliminates any sense of allure. Instead of thinking, that's sexy, you think, that's a powerful comment on observing what's sexy. I felt the same thing with the wives in Mad Max: Fury Road.
