Audaciously gross, wickedly clever, and possibly Demi Moore‘s finest hour, The Substance is a gasp-inducing feat from writer-director Coralie Fargeat. This blend of horror and social satire concerns a fading movie star (Moore) who discovers a serum that when injected generates a younger and supposedly more perfect version of herself which is played by Margaret Qualley. Needless to say, expect the unexpected! (R, 2h 21m)
“For my money, one of the best things you can do this season is to run to see the French director Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance while it is still playing on the big screen.” – Rachel Syme, New Yorker
“With this cross between David Cronenberg body horror and Sunset Boulevard, Moore inserts herself into the Oscar conversation, giving a performance that is both literally naked and operatically dark.” – Thelma Adams, AARP Movies for Grownups
“Demi Moore seizes the role of her lifetime as a movie star turned fitness guru who gets axed for committing the cardinal sin of aging. You’ve never seen anything like the body horrors in Coralie Fargeat’s gory and glorious takedown of youth obsession. “ – Peter Travers, ABC News
