Described as an “explosive feminist take on body horror,” it stars Demi Moore, and Margaret Qualley. The story follows character’s fading celebrity, which she attempts to revive with a black-market drug. “The Substance” allows for a type of cell replication that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself.

She’s already won Best Screenplay at Cannes, and it seems just in the right vein of weird and topical to go gangbusters with critics and movie buffs.
