The Substance Captures Frustrations of Being an Aging Woman Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley star in a body-horror extravaganza that's become the breakout hit of Cannes.
'The Substance': Cathartically Fun and Extreme Feminist Body Horror Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley take cosmetic enhancement to extremes in a grippingly grotesque fusion of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "Showgirls."
'The Substance' Review: An Exhilarating Body-Horror Freak Show As Coralie Fargeat also illustrated in the equally unhinged 'Revenge,' the thin line between critique and hypocrisy is her natural habitat.
A Fearless Demi Moore Faces the Horrors of Aging—or Not—in ‘The Substance’ Moore goes for broke in this mean and clever film about a former movie star who finds a way to turn back the clock, for a price.
