@@daniel-zr1oo Yup! One of the best of the year if only for its equally pastiche nods to Kubrick and Jane Fonda all in one go but especially for DM's best performance of her career to date. A true starring role if I ever saw one!
Yup. Bold, daring and mostly MEMORABLE! That's what you want out of a Best Performance winner... Something you can remember for the ages... This one is it!
Absolutely! A performance that deserves all the recognition in this world! Man, it was brave, because it needs balls to make this movie and the way she nailed every take is just mind blowing
I think she was mentally ill. It's like being old took her by surprise overnight. She was 50 in reality but 20 in her mind. That's not normal. Made me think of her opposite, Pamela Anderson: "(Pamela) Anderson also spoke of the idea of hitting “a crossroads in your 50s” and thinking to herself: “Am I going to chase youth? Am I going to be miserable? Or am I going to be self-accepting?” she revealed. “And it’s a practice.”"
This was her best performance to date. Game changer role that she NAILED. She was fearless yet exceptionally vulnerable in this role. I don’t know how else to say it: she gets it!
@@CammyHell No! The fourth act was what pushed this movie from good, all the way up to greatness. We've been gushing about it over at my horror fans group chat 😅
Full nudity at 61, I applaud her, I couldn't do it now at 40, but then, I don't look like her. It was raw and powerful, and no one says that about a body gore horror. I loved it

Except for: Sigourney Weaver, was nominated for Best Actress, in "Aliens" and Bette Davis was nominated in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" If I am not mistaken (?). Demi Moore is an excellent Actor & so is Dennis Quaid.
@@pamelahays-lx1to Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster won for Silence of the Lambs and it won Best Picture. It's the only horror film to win Best Picture, I believe.
Same! It’s been almost a day after watching it and I can’t stop thinking about it! She deserves at least an Oscar nomination, they can’t do her dirty like Toni Collette a few years back for Hereditary. Performance of a lifetime for Demi.
the oscars better awarding her. a nomination is not enough. best make-up, best SFX, best sound design, best acting, best supporting actress, best script, and so on
I cried the second time I had watched it, while I was doing 2 hours of cardio in the gym. I've been sttruggling with body dysmorphia since my teens. Now I'm almost at my 40's, I feel like my best version, but actually I'm passing though a crysis. Thank you Demi, Carolie and Margaret for this masterpiece.
40 is when the hormones start to act whacky and you lose all your precious vitality if you're not informed. The work that one needs to do to look good is phenomenal. This is women not men. I'm only 3/4 years older than you. Nothing prepares you for this. So be warned!!
I feel you. I have body dysmorphia as well and negative self image… but really, I just want to be grateful and be happy having a healthy body, just seem hard to get there.
@@orhanamin1347 her and Jennifer are both 50+. She aint playing a younger version of her. There is no reason to do a time jump of 7-8 years from 53-61 lol
As someone who is mortified by "eating noises" I agree with her. This movie tapped into so many fears and unsettling imagery BEFORE it went absoletuly batsh*t. In the best way. As a HUGE horror fan I can confidently say I've never seen anything like it and.... Just go see it. Also give Demi ALL of the flowers and awards.
@@jotzu9055 No hype it's worthy. Have you seen it yet? You should... Best PSYCHOBIDDY turn since Joan Crawford in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Also got her Oscar nom's back in the day...
Stunned by her performance. She should be nominated for an Oscar, but unfortunately, the academy doesn't recognize horror even when it's warranted (e.g. Toni Colette in Hereditary).
But the difference here is the substance was a box office success! While hereditary won over only a niche audience of horror lovers. So, I think Demi has a chance here.
Just to put this out there, Demi Moore is around the same age now that Betty White was when she started The Golden Girls. It's amazing how much younger people look these days than they did in the 80's
Well there have been so many new cosmetic surgeries and procedures that have been developed since that time to aid in the unrealistic beauty expectations placed upon women.
I think a lot of this can be attributed to our perspective, too. We were kids (or not born yet) when Golden Girls came out, so we saw them as old ladies, as they all looked like our grandmas or great grandmas at the time. If you look at younger Betty White, say from the Mary Tyler Moore show, she doesn't look much different from how she looks in Golden Girls. She has the same hairstyle even. We naturally see Betty White as an old lady no matter the era. We grew up with Demi Moore, so we remember when she was hot in Ghost and G.I. Jane, and we still see that in her face. I guarantee a 12-year-old today would see Demi as an old lady.
It's hard to believe the director of this film has only made two of them. I saw Revenge when it came out and just saw The Substance tonight and it was amazing. I can't wait to see this again!
I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED y'all to go this this film. I saw it almost a month ago and I can't stop thinking about it. I'm so glad I saw it with my bestie so I can randomly go: "OMG, do you remember when...." Demi is EXTRAORDINARY and this film is balls to the wall unhinged, beautiful, brutal and GORE-geous. It's insane, provocative and just sink into it - you'll have an amazing time. Please, please, please, give this film a chance, it deserves it and I think there might be an Oscar nom for Demi in it.
I'll steal it right now. About as good as you will get from me regarding movies featuring actors who were addicted to Synth and Whippits. Legit poor person drugs. Haha what a loser
i just watched it tonight and oh my goddddd was it an experience!!! my partner and i were already going "remember this part ??!" 5 minutes after we got out LOL this calls for a rewatch asap
@@frauleinmonait’s just very disgusting eating with the mouth opened while talking, the sauce of the shrimp went all over Dennis Quaid’s mouth, hands and table, very disgusting eating behaviour ew not scary tho
@frauleinmona Gross close-ups and sound effects of chewing. That kind of thing really turns my stomach.

It just drives home that he's a gross pig, as if we couldn't tell already.

So, he stuffs his face with a lot of shrimp, yeah? From what I saw it looks like Dennis Quaid did a really good job of pulling off that “snotty, superficial boss” you described him as.😩
The Substance was incredible. I watched it three days ago and can't stop thinking about it. This is where body horror mirrors reality and our current state of mind about tryng to look great at any cost, even if means risking your life and selling your soul to the devil. Once you start, you can't stop. One bite of the apple, and there's no going back.The Substance is a modern-day horror masterpiece and Demi Moore is a knockout. I can't wait to watch it again. I put this film right up there with Longlegs. Now, if we can only get Demi Moore and Nicolas Cage in a movie together, that would be a hot ticket.
By far the best horror film since Hereditary IMO. Demi Moore is incredible. I saw it a few days ago and I cannot get it out of my head. It’s the kind of movie that almost ruins other films because they just don’t compare. Utterly unique, jaw dropping experience.
I want to see more films like that actually have a deeper message behind, but also don't shy away from the gore and scariness. Have you seen the film 'Men?' If you haven't, you might enjoy that one. It checks the boxes of 'The Substance.'
This was an unexpectedly wonderful interview...& she looks perfect. When Seth is interested (which is most often), he's the best entertainment guest interviewer of late night. (Jon Stewart is the best serious subject interviewer.)
I saw this last night in the cinema- incredible movie. Was not expecting a 18+ R movie here in Australia to be so thought provoking. It’s a horror/ thought provoking movie about aging essentially. Make me think differently about how much pressure I put on myself to look attractive. Worth seeing! Demi of course was amazing in it.
Demi was phenomenal in The Substance. The film is original and shocking. Dennis Quaid was disgusting eating those shrimps close up. The sound effects design should win an Oscar.
Because... Well, it's complicated. Not being nominated for an Oscar doesn't mean by all means that one is a bad actor or not deserving to be. During the 'peak' years of her career, she rarely took part to Oscar friendly films, with the exception of Ghost and A Few Good Men. In the first case, it was a super competitive year and while the film is iconic, the performance that stands out is Whoopi's (who won). In the other, it is simply not a particularly interesting role, while she was good. I hope her un-nominated for Oscar status changes this year, hopefully the Academy embraces her performance while abandoning genre bias (sometimes, it happens).
this movie must have been horrible for you lmao. As soon as it started the sound effects kick in. literally 1 scene in I turned to my friend and said jokingly, "this is just gonna be 2 hours of the worst ASMR we've ever seen." wasn't wrong really
It was a mind-blowing experience to witness. Again and again and again and again. It took the strength out of my legs, almost like a blowout, and I felt like I fell apart, before crawling my way towards a cold and heartless finish
I smell Oscar nom's for her and this film! It's shocking, lurid, disgusting, frightening, sexy and disturbing all in one go... A must see movie if there ever is one!
Demi was great in the film. Great message in the film also. Very cool the way it was delivered. Also, Dennis Quaid was fantastic. I can't imagine Ray Liotta playing it. RIP.
@@KOOLBadger I remember the first time I saw her, I was mystified by her voice. It was very gravelly which I thought was so cool. It's not like that anymore, but I thought she was cool. And I didn't even watch ABC soaps. Lol. I've always watched CBS soaps, but tuned into the occasional episode of GH. Haha
I saw it by myself and the thing that kept being in my mind was how even more amazing it would be to see it in theaters because of the asmr ish powerful sound and the set designs everything! I would recommend it to watch it on theaters
For me it could've ended before that final moment and then it was a solid 8 for me. The third act took a turn which kinda took me out of the whole experience.
@@myronusthe third act was so insane and I loved it because filmmakers usually chicken out before going batshit (excuse my language) with a movie. Kudos to Coralie Farget, Demi and Margaret for going totally OUT THERE.
Loved it until the last 30 minutes. Great job Demi!!!Just too much "for me". Excellent message about aging n beauty. Women over 55 will definitely get it👏👏👏
For anyone that hasn't seen this movie, don't wait for digital releases, go watch it in the theater. Watching with other people enhances the entire experience, I promise.
I love her, I’ve always loved her and it’s good to see her putting herself out there like this. Crazy movie. Not for everyone, but one heck of a performance.
The "Eating shrimp part" is not just visceral and visually cringey, it's also heavily symbolic. Dennis Quaid's character is a predator so he's feasting. Also there's the concept of Hollywood chewing people up and spitting them back out that is being visually shown with the shrimp. It also happens as Dennis Quaid's character is firing her. The show-business chewed up Elizabeth Sparkles and is spitting her back out. This movie was so good. After watching it, I just sat in my car in silence being thankful for everything I still have left.
This movie bringing people to the theater spreads VOLUMES!! Two female leads and a female director/writer in the breakout HORROR FILM of the year like this is INCREDIBLE!!! 😮❤👏
can't wait for a world where female leads and a female director make blockbuster movies all the time, and it's normal rather than incredible for women's work to be just as celebrated as men's work
I just watched the movie. This her best I have seen. Dennis portrayed the antagonist role so well that I was genuinely annoyed by his character. It is an excellent movie with outstanding performances; I hope they all win awards.
I watch a ton of horror movies, gory films, even own a few banned/extreme movies like Serbian Film or Salo 120 Days of Sodom... the Substance might be now my favorite horror movie of all time 😮 the scariest horror movie 😢 and a top 10 favorite movie of all time ❤ Congratulations 💚 to everyone in this movie!
It’s actually so generous that Demi is willing to be a real godmother to Mike Faist & Sophie Wilde. If I were them, I’d really appreciate that & take full advantage
Demi you ROCKED this film! My 15yr-old & I just watched it last night & we both loved it. One of the best horror movies I've seen in at least the last 10yrs.
Demi nailed it: “we as women have given into” this image men have of us by injecting ourselves, inserting butt and breast implants into our bodies. We can’t blame men alone for the path we took. I applaud women who reject trying to live up to the ideals of some twisted men. I applaud Demi’s acting and bravery in this role and I hope she stops surgically modifying her face.
Every now and then a film comes along which is refreshingly unque. A huge swing was taken with this movie and they've knocked it out of the park. Brilliantly written, directed and the acting is superb. Have never seen Demi Moore allow herself to be so exposed and vulnerable. She is still amazing.
I saw it & It's SO BEYOND phenomenal. If she Doesn't win the Oscar for best actress & the other girl for supporting actress I'll be shocked especially Demi it has to be a WIN!!!!! Xxo
@@drunkpaulocosta That's a whole lot of dumb for two sentences. How do you know what a goddess would or wouldn't do? Almost every single drug in use today is man made so... What is a non-literal homeless person? Are you saying only the homeless use synthetic marijuana? Are you implying that certain drugs are only okay for certain people? Are you capable of providing a rational response or will you just whine that I'm being mean?
just saw The Substance today. It's wild! Some of the best makleup, sound and editing I've seen. A huge achievement, and Demi Moore is absolutely amazing. The writer/director's previous film Revenge is also awesome!
So great, so much références : Shining, Carrie, The fly, Body double, Freaks, Alien, King kong, The thing, Psycho, Frankenstein, Phantom of the paradise, All about Eve, Doctor Jekyll and mister Hyde, Elephant man, Dorian Gray and even Titane from Julia Ducournau ! The fans of Carpenter, Cronenberg and Argento will be thrilled ! All Hollywood filmed on the Riviera, Coralie Fargeat is brilliant ! Moore and Qualley are perfect (and brave !)
personally saw a story about addiction as a whole, substance abuse, drug addiction underneath the more specific story about youth/beauty. It’s all just human desire to escape the reality of time and death, having a desire for having a place in the world, having a meaning, being loved, respected, wanting to be the perfect version of yourself on the outside or in terms of your mental ability/social skills. All human beings experience this and we invent chemicals that trick us into thinking reality will not one day catch up with us, and we won’t get those years and time and health back.
That movie - a piece in the body horror genre(!) - was such a welcome and awesome surprise to me. Poignant, deep, well written, directed, and acted! Demi is just amazing in this.
Cool story... I personally think that role where she played the Synthetic Marijuana and Whippet junkie who ruined their career by never taking accountability for it and ran into hiding until people stopped gossiping. That was possibly her magnum opus IMO. Can't remember it name but it also had that Bruce Willis guy in it. He played the father of her kids
Demi giving us the performance of her career at 61 is just so incredible and inspiring.👏🏼
wait she 61?!!!!!!!
Watched at cinema great film great performance by everyone
If she's 61 I'm fucking elmo

Demi Moore needs to be at least nominated for an award for this performance. She was amazing and this movie would’ve been lost on any other actress

Probably a Saturn award
Demi Moore deserves an Oscar for this role. She did a marvellous job.
That clip they showed at the beginning was part of a whole scene that was genuinely heartbreaking (for me), and superbly well acted.
I agree. It made me almost sob, the scene is so well executed!
I think that scene was the “scariest” …watching her come to hate herself so much while looking at her alter was so sad and hopeless
I agree. Can relate 😥😢
I think she was mentally ill. It's like being old took her by
surprise overnight. She was 50 in reality but 20 in her mind. That's not normal.

@@ggiant9844It's nice, but I couldn't help looking at it like, where are her pants/skirt?
Demi was phenomenal in The Substance. The film is original and shocking. Dennis Quaid was disgusting eating those shrimps close up. The sound effects design should win an Oscar.
Yes!!!!
She deserves a nomination for this one.
DEMI MOORE DEFINITELY DESERVES AN AWARD 💯💯💯💯 ONE OF HER BEST FILMS 💯💯💯
Demi needs to be nominated for an Oscar. Talk about shocking and powerful.
She absolutely does.
How has Demi not yet been nominated for an Academy Awatd after all these years?
She’s about to be 🙌
Because... Well, it's complicated. Not being nominated for an Oscar doesn't mean by all means that one is a bad actor or not deserving to be. During the 'peak' years of her career, she rarely took part to Oscar friendly films, with the exception of Ghost and A Few Good Men. In the first case, it was a super competitive year and while the film is iconic, the performance that stands out is Whoopi's (who won). In the other, it is simply not a particularly interesting role, while she was good. I hope her un-nominated for Oscar status changes this year, hopefully the Academy embraces her performance while abandoning genre bias (sometimes, it happens).
No worries. That's about to change. 😉
She will, she made history in this movie
I'm new to The Substance train and I'm losing my mind, completely obsessed
listen I have misophonia so that shrimp eating part really was incredibly horrifying
I do not have that, but having seen that scene? I get it.
this movie must have been horrible for you lmao. As soon as it started the sound effects kick in. literally 1 scene in I turned to my friend and said jokingly, "this is just gonna be 2 hours of the worst ASMR we've ever seen." wasn't wrong really
What a great interviewer Seth is!! Demi seemed so cool and chill, I love this kind of vibe
LOVE the correction from "is" to "are."
It was a mind-blowing experience to witness. Again and again and again and again. It took the strength out of my legs, almost like a blowout, and I felt like I fell apart, before crawling my way towards a cold and heartless finish
I smell Oscar nom's for her and this film! It's shocking, lurid, disgusting, frightening, sexy and disturbing all in one go... A must see movie if there ever is one!
Absolutely incredible performance, stunning cinematography, excruciatingly beautiful makeup and practical effects… holy moly, what a movie
I like this type of horror vs jump scare horror. But great plot and message. Demi did amazing!
Funny that she mentions crawling around like a hunchback because she was Esemerelda in Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame.
OMG!! good catch
@@joshuah9109 Yea and in Ghost she starred with two Disney actors like herself.
Her performance was incredible.
It was by far one of the most disgustingly disturbing films I’ve ever seen and I won’t forget it.
Demi was great in the film. Great message in the film also. Very cool the way it was delivered. Also, Dennis Quaid was fantastic. I can't imagine Ray Liotta playing it. RIP.
Saw this last night and can’t stop thinking about it. I wanted to walk out but couldn’t stop watching it.
Right! My hubby turned away from the last 30 minutes. Lol!!
Saw a late night showing with a full theater, everybody loved it!
I remember when she was very young on General Hospital. I love you Demi!💙🫂
Jackie Templeton!
@@Yikes702 yea!!!🤣
@@KOOLBadger I remember the first time I saw her, I was mystified by her voice. It was very gravelly which I thought was so cool. It's not like that anymore, but I thought she was cool. And I didn't even watch ABC soaps. Lol. I've always watched CBS soaps, but tuned into the occasional episode of GH. Haha
@@Yikes702 I have a gravelly voice.🤭
Demi deserves an Oscar because her performance was jaw dropping
I saw it by myself and the thing that kept being in my mind was how even more amazing it would be to see it in theaters because of the asmr ish powerful sound and the set designs everything! I would recommend it to watch it on theaters
Give her every bunch of flowers right now.
Demi seems never afraid to take risks in movie roles. Sometimes it pays off sometimes it doesn't. So far lots of buzz for this film
Crazy movie especially the last 30 minutes which got really disturbing. But I really liked it and Demi should be nominated for best actress for sure.
For me it could've ended before that final moment and then it was a solid 8 for me. The third act took a turn which kinda took me out of the whole experience.
@@myronusthe third act was so insane and I loved it because filmmakers usually chicken out before going batshit (excuse my language) with a movie. Kudos to Coralie Farget, Demi and Margaret for going totally OUT THERE.
@@myronusmy feeling exactly!
Loved it until the last 30 minutes. Great job Demi!!!Just too much "for me". Excellent message about aging n beauty. Women over 55 will definitely get it👏👏👏
This is a Body Horror film, so if you are into that, you'll love it.
Demi hasn't lost a single step yet! LOVE HER!!🥰😍
Yeah who knew Synthetic Marijuana was the fountain of youth.
Who'd know that synthetic marijuana is the fountain of youth
seriously she was the perfect person to play in story about aging cuz she’s aging beautifully. from far away she seems immortal
Demi Moore was brilliant in Margin Call
Oooh she was!!!
You’re right!! Demi Moore is great in most things
And in Mr Brooks with Kevin Costner & William Hurt.
Totally agree, and a great film.
And in ‘If these walls could talk’. Great performance!
For anyone that hasn't seen this movie, don't wait for digital releases, go watch it in the theater. Watching with other people enhances the entire experience, I promise.
Just watched the movie and it was amazing. Now to binge Demi interviews
I love her,
I’ve always loved her and it’s good to see her putting herself out there like this. Crazy movie. Not for everyone, but one heck of a performance.
The "Eating shrimp part" is not just visceral and visually cringey, it's also heavily symbolic. Dennis Quaid's character is a predator so he's feasting. Also there's the concept of Hollywood chewing people up and spitting them back out that is being visually shown with the shrimp. It also happens as Dennis Quaid's character is firing her. The show-business chewed up Elizabeth Sparkles and is spitting her back out. This movie was so good. After watching it, I just sat in my car in silence being thankful for everything I still have left.
This move is a MASTERPIECE. Run to see it.
Demi moore should win an Oscar for this performance..best acting of the year maybe last decade no question.
This movie bringing people to the theater spreads VOLUMES!! Two female leads and a female director/writer in the breakout HORROR FILM of the year like this is INCREDIBLE!!! 😮❤👏
can't wait for a world where female leads and a female director make blockbuster movies all the time, and it's normal rather than incredible for women's work to be just as celebrated as men's work
I just watched the movie. This her best I have seen. Dennis portrayed the antagonist role so well that I was genuinely annoyed by his character. It is an excellent movie with outstanding performances; I hope they all win awards.
I really like her. Good to see her doing good
I watch a ton of horror movies, gory films, even own a few banned/extreme movies like Serbian Film or Salo 120 Days of Sodom... the Substance might be now my favorite horror movie of all time 😮 the scariest horror movie 😢 and a top 10 favorite movie of all time ❤
Congratulations 💚 to everyone in this movie!
She was fantastic in this movie. I hope that there is some recognition during awards season for her.
I just watched this and it has joined my top 10. She is an absolute natural in this genre
It’s actually so generous that Demi is willing to be a real godmother to Mike Faist & Sophie Wilde. If I were them, I’d really appreciate that & take full advantage
That made me tear up. She has a beautiful soul.
It’s the noises he makes that get me it puts shivers down your spine
She was fantastic. The whole cast was fantastic. Stellar, stunning movie, deftly directed & acted
Demi you ROCKED this film! My 15yr-old & I just watched it last night & we both loved it. One of the best horror movies I've seen in at least the last 10yrs.
Can't wait to see the movie..and Demi is so beautiful at 61...wow❤
she is 61 😮😮😮😮 she probably has access to a real life substance there is no way
Demi nailed it: “we as women have given into” this image men have of us by injecting ourselves, inserting butt and breast implants into our bodies. We can’t blame men alone for the path we took. I applaud women who reject trying to live up to the ideals of some twisted men. I applaud Demi’s acting and bravery in this role and I hope she stops surgically modifying her face.
Every now and then a film comes along which is refreshingly unque. A huge swing was taken with this movie and they've knocked it out of the park. Brilliantly written, directed and the acting is superb. Have never seen Demi Moore allow herself to be so exposed and vulnerable. She is still amazing.
I saw it & It's SO BEYOND phenomenal. If she Doesn't win the Oscar for best actress & the other girl for supporting actress I'll be shocked especially Demi it has to be a WIN!!!!! Xxo
The Oscars HATE horror.
Margaret Qualley
Demi Moore deserves an Oscar for this performance. It was such an exhilarating experience!
This movie was unhinged and I loved it. She should get a nomination for it :)
Finally got to watch it in the cinema 2 days ago and I’m STILL obsessed with it!
Wow! A new clip from the film! Can’t wait for the 20th!
Thoughtful questions and an easy conversation! Sounds like a badass film - can't wait to see it. Go Demi!
This woman is a godess
Goddess' would not smoke synthetic marijuana. A man made drug that literal homeless people use
@@drunkpaulocosta That's a whole lot of dumb for two sentences.
How do you know what a goddess would or wouldn't do?
Almost every single drug in use today is man made so...
What is a non-literal homeless person?
Are you saying only the homeless use synthetic marijuana?
Are you implying that certain drugs are only okay for certain people?
Are you capable of providing a rational response or will you just whine that I'm being mean?
@@drunkpaulocosta she would if she wanted to
🥴 uh.
Hear Demi is incredible in the movie- can't wait to see it!
She deserves every price available for her performance in this movie! Give her an Oscar! At least!!!
she looks incredible, she's so gorgeous
A wild ride. Spectacular work by both leading actresses. It’s also really really funny.
just saw The Substance today. It's wild! Some of the best makleup, sound and editing I've seen. A huge achievement, and Demi Moore is absolutely amazing. The writer/director's previous film Revenge is also awesome!
0:16 - 0:41
Donnie's post debate bathroom break.
Her hair is gorgeous 😍 ❤ so sleek, so shiny and dark as hell!
So great, so much références : Shining, Carrie, The fly, Body double, Freaks, Alien, King kong, The thing, Psycho, Frankenstein, Phantom of the paradise, All about Eve, Doctor Jekyll and mister Hyde, Elephant man, Dorian Gray and even Titane from Julia Ducournau ! The fans of Carpenter, Cronenberg and Argento will be thrilled ! All Hollywood filmed on the Riviera, Coralie Fargeat is brilliant ! Moore and Qualley are perfect (and brave !)
personally saw a story about addiction as a whole, substance abuse, drug addiction underneath the more specific story about youth/beauty. It’s all just human desire to escape the reality of time and death, having a desire for having a place in the world, having a meaning, being loved, respected, wanting to be the perfect version of yourself on the outside or in terms of your mental ability/social skills. All human beings experience this and we invent chemicals that trick us into thinking reality will not one day catch up with us, and we won’t get those years and time and health back.
What a freaking disturbing movie. Demi was amazing!
That movie - a piece in the body horror genre(!) - was such a welcome and awesome surprise to me. Poignant, deep, well written, directed, and acted! Demi is just amazing in this.
Don't forget about St. Elmos Fire and One Crazy Summer!
One Crazy Summer was my movie. I had been looking for that movie for years. Couldn’t find it on streaming. Im going to try to look for it again.
I choose to forget about St. Elmo's Fire!😉
@@shawnuel You mean you don't find Rob Lowe miming saxophone playing charming?😂
@@vickiep4217 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ya know, it is actually funny how l totally love Rob Lowe now but couldn’t stand him back in the day!
Cool story... I personally think that role where she played the Synthetic Marijuana and Whippet junkie who ruined their career by never taking accountability for it and ran into hiding until people stopped gossiping.
That was possibly her magnum opus IMO. Can't remember it name but it also had that Bruce Willis guy in it. He played the father of her kids
Demi Moore deserves an Oscar for this role. She did a fantastic job. What a gorgeous woman and a marvellous actress.
She was amazing!!!
I just saw this movie and was amazed by it! I've already seen it 3 times and I agree with Demi Moore that it should be a shared experience.
The scene of Dennis Quaid eating the shrimp was probably the hardest thing for me to watch in this movie.
It was absolutely disgusting lol
