The Substance

September 20

Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself?
You. Only better in every way.
You should 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 the repellent studio head (Dennis Quaid).  She is drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: THE SUBSTANCE. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley).  The only rule? You are one, and 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. Explosive, provocative and twisted, THE SUBSTANCE marks the arrival of a thrillingly visionary filmmaker.

“An instant classic.” -The Hollywood Reporter

“At its core, The Substance acts as a feminist update on Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray.” -Collider

“Critic’s Pick! An immensely, unstoppably, ecstatically demented fairy tale.” -Indiewire
