Demi Moore's Performance in 'The Substance' Divides Critics

The body-horror film explores aging and the entertainment industry, garnering both acclaim and harsh criticism.

Demi Moore stars in 'The Substance,' a body-horror film directed by Coralie Fargeat, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
The film's plot revolves around an older actress, played by Moore, who undergoes a transformation to reclaim her space in the industry.
The movie has been praised for Moore's performance and its satirical take on Hollywood's obsession with youth.
However, some critics argue the film perpetuates stereotypes and fails to accurately represent middle-aged women's experiences.
The film has sparked discussions on ageism, internalized misogyny, and the male gaze in the entertainment industry.
