The Substance (2024, R, 2h 21m)
Stars: Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, Dennis Quaid
Director & writer: Coralie Fargeat
Demi Moore won the 2025 Golden Globe Best-Actress award and gives her 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, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley).
