It couldn’t be a more perfect movie for a more perfect time. The Substance is a 2024 movie by Coralie Fargeat where an aging aerobics star Elisabeth Sparkles is pushed aside by her skeevy producer Harvey for an ultra-fresh, ultra-appealing Elisabeth Sparkles version 2.0. Accosted by constant reminders of her dated appearance and declining success, Elisabeth gives in to use of The Substance, a back-alley process that allows her to revive a younger, more beautiful version of herself.
