Demi Moore’s Best (And Oscar-Worthy) Performance Came in The Substance
In Coralie Fargeat’s satirical body horror film, “The Substance“, there’s a poignant scene featuring star Demi Moore at her most exposed. As an actress past her prime in the eyes of her aerobics TV show bosses, she embarks on a date following the use of an illicit drug that causes a youthful version of herself to emerge from her body. At this juncture, Elisabeth Sparkle has transformed back to her original self. Just before departing, she hesitates and instead returns to the bathroom to apply extra makeup and adjust her attire, still seeking perfection in appearance before leaving.
