Demi Moore's 'The Substance' Gains Global Acclaim and Distribution

The feminist body horror film, directed by Coralie Fargeat, receives widespread praise and international deals following its Cannes premiere.

The Substance, starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, premiered at Cannes and received a 13-minute standing ovation.
The film explores themes of aging and beauty standards through a gruesome, satirical lens.
Critics have praised Moore's fearless performance, though some found the film's messaging heavy-handed.
The Match Factory has secured distribution deals for the film across multiple continents, including Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Mubi retains rights for North America, the UK, and other regions, planning theatrical releases later this year.
