Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself?
You. Only better in every way.
Seriously.
You've got to try this new product: The Substance.
IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
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. She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue. 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. This explosive, provocative and twisted winner of Best Screenplay at 2024 Cannes Film Festival also stars Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid.
