Margaret Qualley's Performance In 'Substance': A Review Of Style, Humor, And Overacting In Ethan Coen's Latest Film

Margaret Qualley, who was great in Substance, acts like a private detective from a 50's movie, which was out of place with almost everyone else.Aubrey Plaza was great in her role, seemed very realistic amongst the other actors.Chris Evans's character was over acted, which might have been the intent of the director, given other weird choices.Ethan Coen, is a great director, but really couldn't pull this movie together as it seemed lost as to style or intent. I think he must have decided to throw in the several meaningless sex scenes that didn't advance the plot, to appeal to teenage boys.All the rest of the actors were way over the top and unrealistic to the point of being a parody almost to Naked Gun level. Thus, there were a few laughs to be had.Didn't hate it, but will never watch it again and regret paying to see it.
