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, Twentysomething 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.
