'The Substance' - Aging is Really Scary in the War of Beings

Every frame in The Substance is a work of art. Every sound and lighting setup is calculated to create maximum shock for the audience. Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley portray two halves of an entity divided by The Substance - The Elixir . Many nude but non-sexual scenes of the two actresses show that they work very seriously. The excitement in The Substance comes from a woman's acceptance: willing to give up her life for 7 days to allow a younger, more beautiful version to roam the world in her place.

Scene from the movie The Substance

Unfortunately, the two identities do not share the same thoughts. While the old identity Elisabeth (Demi Moore) is stuck at home watching TV, the new identity Sue (Margaret Qualley) is increasingly famous. When Sue - Elisabeth's younger, hotter half - crosses the boundary of the rule of taking turns living with Elisabeth for a week, things start to happen. Jealousy, envy, and selfishness (even if they come from two versions of the same person) are always present. Everyone wants to live longer in a beautiful young body - which must follow the law of aging, cannot be unchanged over time...

Margaret Qualley's radiant beauty in The Substance

Demi Moore's performance in The Substance is highly appreciated

The Substance is uniquely Coralie Fargeat's take on the French filmmaker's own struggles with her own relationship with her body and the scrutiny of society. Margaret Qualley makes a compelling, confident Sue; while Demi Moore is a picture of aging Hollywood stars still clinging to the past, demonstrating the film's satire.

The Substance (Vietnamese title: Divine Medicine ) is ultimately a story about a duel between two egos, fighting for dominance. The film is showing in theaters in Vietnam.
