Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself?
You. Only better in every way.
You’ve got to try this 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 repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid).  She is then 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, twenty-something Sue (Margaret Qualley).  The only rule?  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.

“Extraordinary… This is daring and stylish.” – Tim Cogshell, FilmWeek (KPCC – NPR Los Angeles)

“The Substance is what you would get if David Cronenberg directed Sunset Boulevard.” – Chris McCoy, Memphis Flyer
