Synopsis
The Substance (2024) is a body-horror satire directed by Coralie Fargeat — watch online on iFILM. The French-British-American co-production runs 140 minutes and stars Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley.
Elizabeth Sparkle has spent decades as a Hollywood fixture, but at fifty her fitness show gets handed to someone younger. In desperation she turns to a black-market drug that splits her own cells into a second, younger version of herself — Sue. The rule is rigid: seven days one, seven days the other, one body between them. Dennis Quaid plays the producer who treats a woman's age as a line item on a balance sheet.
Fargeat wrote the original screenplay and won Best Screenplay at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival for it — the film's visceral body imagery draws on the Cronenberg tradition while aiming squarely at the machinery that consumes and discards women. Stream The Substance (2024) in full online on iFILM.
