Beautiful, brutal, grotesque. Smart, entertaining, and strange. The Substance, which blends body horror, satire, and absurd comedy, is one of the most peculiar film releases this fall.
This Cannes sensation harshly critiques the toxic worship of beauty, youth, and success. Demi Moore delivers one of her best performances to date, while Margaret Qualley is equally impressive. Dennis Quaid stands out as a businessman untouched by the double standards of aging in Hollywood.
