Deliriously entertaining and ruthlessly satirical, writer-director Coralie Fargeat’s explosive Cannes sensation THE SUBSTANCE is a be-careful-what-you-wish-for fable for the ages. Demi Moore gives a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and 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. Easy, right?

Fargeat's (REVENGE) satirical work of body horror has emerged as one of the biggest box-office wins of 2024, and is now the highest-grossing genre film ever directed by a female filmmaker. With Margaret Qualley, Dennis Quaid.

“A total knockout. Without a doubt the performance of Demi Moore’s career. Had viewers gasping, shrieking, laughing, and cheering all the way through." (Vogue)

“Jaw-dropping. Coralie Fargeat works with the flair of a grindhouse Kubrick in a weirdly fun, cathartically grotesque fusion of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and 'Showgirls'.” (Variety)
