Directed by Coralie Fargeat, “The Substance” has rapidly carved a niche for itself in internet culture. Its journey began with an award for Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival, where it captivated both audiences and industry professionals.
In the film, celebrated actress Elizabeth Sparkle (played by Demi Moore) injects herself with a substance that allows her to manifest a younger, more beautiful, and more desirable version of herself (portrayed by Margaret Qualley).
Since its American debut on September 20, the film has been widely embraced by the public who have created parodies on social media, Halloween costumes, and even drag queen performances. “I knew we had succeeded when I saw drag queens embracing the film,” Demi Moore told AlloCiné.
