I watched a movie with her that I made a thread about a while back called "Sanctuary." She has that mischievous/sexy thing going on in that one too. The movie takes place in one single location and is more dialogue-driven, but I did enjoy her performance. I think she is a more interesting actress than her mom, Andie Macdowell.
Anyway, here is the link to the Sanctuary movie if anyone wants to check it out.

I'm watching that as soon as I can 'find' it.
FYI Gang I emailed my brother when I finished this last night (at midnight) , word for word copied below:
'The Substance, at theatre's now. You must see it , alone. It's bat shit fucking insane. There is also extreme nudity hence alone. Just finished it but yeah insane"
He has a wife & young kid hence the alone.
Also sorry to disappoint: the younger version (Sue) her boobs are prosthetic, at least according to the trivia on IMDB.

Guessing the ass and leg shots were a double also in the closeups.
Prosthetic breasts are def not where they drew the line.

Yeah, her tits were pretty solid quality though - I preferred them to the younger version, which is probably because the young version was apparently fake.
On some of the earlier discussion - I'm pretty sure the implication was that they synched memories when they switched. The time of actually not knowing what happened was because Sue got blackout drunk beforehand, not because the process doesn't share memories. It is just dissociation is a known side-effect of the process - hence the constant refrain of 'You are the same person. There is no 'them', there is only you.'
I thought this was actually really good, with a variety of deeper themes.
Minor spoiler on theme with no specifics:
Extra credit for a horror movie where the 'evil thing' isn't to blame for anything. The 'substance' did exactly what was advertised, twisted nothing, and came with not only specific impossible to miss usage instructions and warnings, but also provides a 24hr help line ! Chick has nobody to blame but herself, which is kind of the point I guess.
Minus a point or two for the ending to be so over-the-top it was ridiculous, kind of broke the whole vibe of the rest of the movie.

lol how do you think they went about it during shooting the movie when it already contains such in your face themes and yet they are literally doing it fucking live
- you need bigger tits add prosthetics
She was supposed to be the better version and still needed a boost

The Fly isn't that bad, but Martyrs ruined horror movies for me. I didn't want to see people suffering like that in such a realistic way. If it's just slimy unrealistic gore, then that's no big deal. I want to see this.

You should homie. If it's your flavor, I imagine this movie would be awesome high as fuck.
EDIT: When it comes out on VOD, I'm going to re-watch.

And then you go on to say you are pro Megalopolis.
You and people like you are the reason why we get nothing but shit movies these days.

Nonsense take.
Megalopolis is 'bad' for the exact opposite reason that 99% of other movies are bad. Most movies are made by committee, which makes them bad. Megalopolis was made by one guy as a vanity project.

The misses wanted a movie night so we went to the cinema to see this which I had never seen a trailor for or even ever heard of.
Man this was amazing compared to some of the awful shit she's picked in the past. That final scene when she takes the stage amongst dancers was fucking lol.

This movie was pretty goddamn good. Haven't seen a "scary" movie that stuck with me in a couple years but I'd say this will. Very uncomfortable a lot of the time. The actress playing the younger self is stunningly gorgeous. Dennis Quaid needs to play Vince McMahon in something.
