"Substance" is the real thing: A haunting treatise on faith, science, fate, and free will. It's a film I will gladly watch again. Though I saw this film in rough cut, I'm still geeked about it. It just snuck up on me...I mean, it's everything an independent film should be: brave, thought provoking, well-performed, thumb-your-nose-at-Hollywood cinema...artful in both thought and word. "Substance" is a film you take to dinner after the show: one you want to share with others. Take a friend to it, and afterwards you will converse in the truest sense. Ray (Dr. Lessing) and Vanessa (Daphne) simply explode off the screen, and the newcomer, Lorena York (Kate), is electric. And I might as well say it now: This script will win scads of awards.
I'm giving it a "10" because even though the sound wasn't perfect, the film did everything a film should. Make no mistake..."Substance" is an important work of art, one I will most certainly make part of my collection (when it becomes available).
