I’ve seen the trailer and I still don’t believe this is a real movie.

Poster is like a 90% copy of the famous Junji Ito Tomei drawing but ok

This feels like the kind of film that’s trying so hard to be like Get Out but will retroactively be more damaging unintentionally.
Like, they mean well, but I get a really bad vibe from the trailer.
This shit is gonna be offensive, ironically.

This is the most racist premise for a movie I’ve ever seen. I can’t imagine it’s anything more than just racist bullshit from front to back.

The first in a wave of ‘It’s the Substance but it’s about…’ movies, no doubt.

I feel like the entire writers’ room was white

This looks like racist crap.

So from what I understand, this is an entire movie about the weirdest plot point of *Die Another Day*. Might as well throw in an invisible car and get Madonna to sing the theme song.

Add another AI generated poster to the list.

So an Asian lady has some personal insecurities about her own appearance and rather than growing up and dealing with it, she made a movie in which I assume her personal insecurities are instead blamed on others. Wow. So brave.

For the record this is written and directed by a Chinese woman from Australia. That doesn’t mean it’ll automatically be good but maybe give it a chance before decrying it as racist.

Poster kinda reminds me of together with Dave Franco

I get you can’t always cast the right age for teenagers, but 30 year olds as high schoolers just doesn’t work.

I saw the trailer for this movie while watching Iron Lung and the scenes with the doctors reminded me of Face Off so my buddies and I have dubbed this movie “Race Off”

Interesting, but I feel like this sort of internal struggle was only common amongst like Asian-Americans who are already 35+. Maybe even 40+. Thankfully the younger generations aren’t as dumb.

Tomi, the remake

Okay lol

I was trying to decipher if this was some weird adaptation of Yellowface. I feel like that could make a good show/movie. But this just feels wild.

Just saw the trailer – is the twist going to be none of the popular girls are actually white?

This sounds interesting. I’ll probably give it a chance

This is just another version of The Substance but with racist elements.
