The Substance | An NWN Movie Review

New Wave Nerds

This week, Shayde reviews the recent film, The Substance.

Directed by Coralie Fargeat, The Substance follows a fading celebrity who takes a black-market drug: a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself

The film stars Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid. Demi Moore just recently won a Golden Globe for her performance as Elisabeth and is being discussed for an Academy Award as well.

The film is currently available on Mubi.
