The Substance

Receiving rave reviews from this year’s Cannes Film Festival, THE SUBSTANCE is a wickedly clever yet audacious piece of body-horror cinema that echoes the works of David Cronenberg. Demi Moore stars as a fading celebrity that uses an experimental black market drug to create a clone of a young, better version of herself (played by Margaret Qualley). Moore gives one of her best performances ever.
