It follows Joan, a Chinese-American high schooler who undergoes surgery to become white, as she wants to be prom queen and thinks that looking like previous prom queens is the way to get there. Branded as the &#8220;race swap&#8221; version of The Substance, it has mixed reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 67% rating.<\/p>\n<p>An out-of-context clip from the film, where <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/tag\/celebrity\">Mckenna Grace<\/a>, who plays the white version of Joan, sings to her Chinese parents so they recognise her, has been shared across TikTok and X.
