The Substance

Now fifty and faded, Hollywood diva Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) would try anything to reclaim looks and career-including a black market serum that causes her to gestate a younger version of herself (Margaret Qualley) out of her back. As "Sue" the clone starts living Elisabeth's public life in her place, the two will be destined for an uncanny battle over their shared existence. Coralie Fargeat's stunning body-horror feminist parable co-stars Hugo Diego Garcia, Gore Abrams, and Dennis Quaid. 141 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
