The Substance

Demi Moore stuns as Elisabeth Sparkle, a washed-up film star kicked to the curb by studio boss Harvey (Dennis Quaid) after her fitness TV gig tanks. Enter THE SUBSTANCE—a mysterious drug that temporarily turns her into the young and stunning Sue (Margaret Qualley). The catch? One week per body. No exceptions. What could possibly go wrong? Wickedly entertaining and brutally sharp, Coralie Fargeat's Cannes sensation rips apart toxic beauty worship and twists it into a be-careful-what-you-wish-for fable for the ages. Explosive, provocative, and deliciously twisted, The Substance cements the arrival of an extraordinarily bold filmmaker.
