6/10
Holy Cronenberg! Did not see that ending coming and really enjoyed it. This sparkly gross-out fest was exactly what the clandestine doctor ordered. Demi Moore is back and with all the ass shots you can handle. The concept itself is horrifying and had a Requiem for a Dream on acid vibe.
Loved the finale and all things leading up to it. Also, Dennis Quaid was ruthless.
Hated how she couldn’t comprehend the ramifications over vanity but that’s kinda the point. Just went horse yelling at the screen to knock it off.
