Storyline:
Demi Moore portrays Elisabeth Sparkle, a Hollywood actress whose increasing age has cast a pall over her once-bright stardom. The former actress, now a fitness expert, finds herself abruptly removed from her position as the host of her aerobics program by the network executive Harvey, a character whose name humorously reflects his lecherous nature. Compounding her professional decline, Elisabeth seems to lack any close personal relationships, with no friends or family to support her. Upon returning to her opulent apartment, characterized by its majestic blue living room and expansive, immaculate white bathroom, she feels overwhelmed by the vast emptiness surrounding her. Her obsessive pursuit of fame, or rather, the desire for validation—indicative of her deep-seated self-rejection—drives her to seek out The Substance, an injection of a radiant green liquid that creates an alternate version of herself: younger, more glamorous, and strikingly beautiful. From this transformation, Elisabeth gives rise to Sue, who emerges in a dramatic and painful “birth” sequence from her back. The ultimate option to stream your favorite movie is FlixHQ.
