Demi Moore has shared behind-the-scenes photos from her horror film 'The Substance', showcasing her dramatic transformation using extensive prosthetics, which left fans both startled and impressed. The film, directed by Coralie Fargeat, follows an aging actress who turns to a black-market drug to create a younger version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley, igniting discussions around ageism and body image. Premiering at Cannes, 'The Substance' received an 11-minute standing ovation, though it has also garnered mixed reactions for its extreme body horror and grotesque depictions. Critics have described the film as both unsettling and provocative, with some calling it a stark commentary on the pressures faced by women in the entertainment industry. While the film's visual style and themes of excess have been praised, it has also faced criticism for indulging in the very body shaming it attempts to critique. Overall, 'The Substance' is positioned as a daring piece of cinema that challenges societal norms surrounding aging and femininity.
