Description

Demi Moore gives a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid). She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: The Substance. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn - temporarily - as the gorgeous, twenty-something Sue (Margaret Qualley). The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong? Deliriously entertaining and ruthlessly satirical, Coralie Fargeat's Cannes sensation turns toxic beauty culture inside out with a be-careful-what-you-wish-for fable for the ages. Explosive, provocative and twisted, The Substance marks the arrival of a thrillingly visionary filmmaker.

    This was my favorite movie experience in years. Over the top and shot beautifully. Both actresses floored me and Quaid was having a blast. I’m so happy this movie exists.

    Demi Moore Back with a vengeance in a Bonkers Body Horror movie! It’s taking our photoshop procedure perception of Beauty and able to poke and prod at it! Margret Qually as the enhanced doppelgänger version of Demi’s character was scene chewing and spit out awesomeness! To say the Substance is not for the faint of heart ❤️ might be an understatement 💔! But Body Horror aficionados should watch it IF YOU DARE!
