The Substance sets new record for Demi Moore
As a seasoned gamer with over three decades of immersion in the virtual world, I can confidently say that “The Substance” is not just another movie – it’s a cinematic masterpiece that takes the concept of role-playing to a whole new level.
In their latest movie, “The Substance”, Margaret Qualley and Demi Moore have broken a record previously held by Demi Moore.
In this intriguing body-horror movie, an aging star, portrayed by Moore, starts taking illicit drugs leading to the emergence of a youthful doppelganger, played by Qualley.
Ever since its debut at the prestigious 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it scooped up the Best Screenplay Award, I’ve been hearing nothing but rave reviews about this film. The director, Coralie Fargeat, has received widespread admiration for her exceptional work.
The extraordinary praise has propelled Moore to unprecedented triumph, as her film garnered an impressive 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes – the highest for any theatrically-released movie in her career (and equaling that of TV movie “If These Walls Could Talk”).
You can read a selection of reviews below:
New York Times
Coralie Fargeat’s gruesome fairytale, titled ‘The Substance’, explores themes such as fame, self-loathing, and the fear that arises from building one’s identity upon others’ gazes. This story is set in a world filled with mirrors.
The Washington Post
Fargeat’s film, with its cleverness, flair, and unrelenting edge, serves as a striking satire of the shallow, mass-produced cultural icon it aims to mock.
Arizona Republic
At certain moments, Fargeat places the onus on viewers, who are left yearning, clamoring, and expecting the next, superior, slimmest, and most alluring offering. In doing so, she compels both the characters within the film and its external audience to bear this cost.
NPR
This presentation offers a powerful platform for both Qualley and particularly Moore, reminiscent of Faye Dunaway’s abrasive, perpetually spiraling character in “Mommie Dearest” and the later stages of Bette Davis.
Rolling Stone
Shouldn’t Moore’s exceptional, career-best performance fail to ignite a resurgence akin to Demi’s second coming, it would mean there is no divine existence – this adaptation of ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’, remarkably brilliant in every sense, reaches an explosive peak.
Empire Magazine
This isn’t typical feminist scholarship; imagine if ‘Showgirls’ was directed by David Cronenberg, but prepare for an over-the-top experience that will result in a hilarious, enjoyable ride.
The Substance is in cinemas now.
