This body horror movie is not for the faint-hearted, but it's worth it! In one of the best performances of her career, Demi Moore shines as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-list celebrity who is past her prime and is suddenly fired from her own fitness TV show by the obnoxious TV boss Harvey (Dennis Quaid).
Then she seizes the opportunity offered by a mysterious new drug: The Substance. All it takes is one injection and she is - temporarily - reborn as a beautiful twenty-something named Sue (Margaret Qualley).
The only rule? They must share time: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. The perfect balance. What could possibly go wrong?
Coralie Fargeat's insanely entertaining and relentlessly satirical Cannes sensation takes the toxic cult of beauty for a ride and tells a story for the ages in which you have to be careful what you wish for. THE SUBSTANCE is explosive, provocative and wacky - and marks the arrival of an excitingly visionary filmmaker.
