The Substance

Demi Moore’s comeback movie is “The Substance”. In it she plays an aging actress who is being put out to pasture. She signs up for a program that develops a new, younger version of herself. Both of them co-exist, but it does not go well after a while. Moore is winning a lot of Best Actress awards for this role and the film is also getting a lot of praise. However, it struck me as a horror film with expensive special effects. Plenty of blood and guts. While I was impressed by Demi Moore’s performance I did not feel the same way about the movie.
