Demi Moore as Elizabeth Sparkle staring intently at a television screen in The Substance.
The Big Picture Demi Moore’s upcoming body horror, The Substance, has garnered much appreciation during its film festival run before it hits theaters. The movie made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, earlier this year, and was nominated for the Palme d’Or and Best Screenplay, winning the latter. The feature, directed by French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat, deals with the themes of body image, and societal expectations around how bodies should look.
What Is ‘The Substance’ About? The Substance follows a 50-something star of an aerobics show, Elisabeth Sparkle, who is fired by her boss because of her age. However, things take a turn when she receives an unexpected proposal: a mysterious lab offers her a miraculous substance, which upon injection will make Elisabeth "the best version" of herself i.e., younger, more beautiful, and perfect. With a thrilling plot and sensitive themes, no wonder The Substance has garnered quite a buzz.
Along with Moore as Elisabeth Sparkle, the movie also cast talents including Margaret Qualley as Sue, Dennis Quaid as Harvey, Hugo Diego Garcia, Phillip Schurer, Joseph Balderrama, and Robin Greer. Fargeat, well known for her 2017 rape-revenge thriller Revenge, directs from a script she also wrote. With enormous talent aboard, the feature will be the one to watch out for.
