Description
The Substance is a film based on a trendless celebrity who takes a drug found on the black market that manages to make her younger and filled with long lost confidence.
Demi Moore delivers the performance of her career according to critics in Coralie Fargeat’s audacious Cannes Film Festival Best Screenplay award-winning body horror, THE SUBSTANCE. Moore's co-star Margaret Qualley is also ferociously formidable coming off of two similarly outlandish and bold roles in Yorgos Lanthimos' Oscar-winning ‘Poor Things’ and his twisted follow-up ‘Kinds Of Kindness’.
Elisabeth Sparkle (Moore), renowned for an aerobics show, faces a devastating blow on her 50th birthday when she is unceremoniously fired. Amid her distress, a laboratory offers her a black-market substance which promises to transform her into an enhanced version of herself (Qualley).
A frenzied and satirical body horror that's as clever as it is gory, THE SUBSTANCE adds a timely and viscerally confronting feminist spin on ageism and the toll of vanity.
