X Users Are Losing It Over Coralie Fargeat’s Revenge After The Substance Takes Over Awards Season

The Internet’s Doing What It Does Best — Digging Up Gold 🔥

After Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance dominated award chatter (five Oscar noms + Demi Moore’s Critics Choice Best Actress win, casual flex), film Twitter — sorry, X cinephiles — decided to time travel back to where it all began: her 2017 debut Revenge.

And the timeline is buzzing.

People are calling it “a genre masterpiece,” “feminist carnage done right,” and “the reason Fargeat deserves her own cinematic universe.”

The Plot That Still Hits Like a Punch

Revenge isn’t your standard blood-soaked revenge flick.It’s a French thriller where Matilda Lutz plays a woman who survives a brutal assault and turns into an unstoppable force of vengeance — all set against the surreal backdrop of a desert that feels alive with danger.

The movie blends neon visuals, art-film precision, and pure rage — basically, Kill Bill meets Mad Max with feminist fury.And that 92% Rotten Tomatoes score? Yeah, it’s earned.

X Reacts: “This Woman Directs Like She’s Possessed” 💀

Posts are flooding in praising Fargeat’s wild direction, tension-soaked pacing, and how her female gaze reshapes a typically male-dominated genre.

One viral tweet sums it up:

“Watched Revenge again after The Substance. Coralie Fargeat directs like she’s exorcising the patriarchy.”

There’s a clear pattern — fans are connecting the dots between her early brutal poetry in Revenge and the psychological body horror of The Substance.

Basically, the internet’s realizing this isn’t a one-hit wonder story — it’s a full-blown auteur arc.

Fargeat’s Glow-Up Is the Real Revenge

From indie festival chaos to red carpet dominance, Coralie Fargeat’s rise feels cinematic in itself.She’s carved out a lane that’s equal parts shocking, feminist, and visually addictive.

If Revenge was her declaration of power, The Substance is her victory lap — and fans are more than happy to binge both.
