“Substance.” Demi Moore horror film garnered applause in Cannes. When is the premiere?
The main character is Elizabeth Sparkle, an aging celebrity and once an award-winning actress who has spent most of her recent years recording fitness exercises. When she turns 50, she loses her job on television to a younger one. Desperate, she agrees to an experimental and illegal treatment. After receiving the titular substance, she creates her “second self”, becomes younger, full of energy, more beautiful, but all this comes at a price.
Demi Moore is joined on screen by Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid. The film was shown in Cannes, and in Poland the first screenings took place as part of the New Horizons festival. “Substance” will hit theaters on September 20, but it has already attracted the attention of more than just critics.
“Substance” delighted critics. “The most vulgar cinematic fun of the year”
The production has so far garnered 90 percent positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and Filmweb users have rated it 7.6 out of 10. Reviewers have emphasized that it is an “absurd, shocking, and grotesque commentary on aging with dignity,” and that “some will run away screaming” from the screening. Polish critics have also expressed their admiration and shared their impressions with Internet users via the latter.
A wild and transgressive ride on the genre fringes of gore, body horror and slasher, as well as a commentary on the cult of youth and beauty.

The most beautiful kind of grossness and the most vulgar cinematic fun of the year. Fargeat proudly flaunts his B-grade swagger, and rightly so.
– Igor Kierkosz assessed. Jan Tracz summed it up as “total awesomeness”, and Michał Piepiórka compared it to the works of the Brothers Grimm.
Firecracker! It provokes, irritates, shocks
