not sure what you consider "substance" because the visual/emotional substance was off the charts. the use of juxtaposition alone throughout the film was phenomenal (i.e., hot/cold, earth/space, safety/danger, etc)
Substance doesn't always need to come from dialogue. and IMO, films often achieve way more with less of it as it forces you to interpret meaning subjectively.
