“The Substance” is about an award-winning actress (Moore) who, at 50, loses her job as host of a popular TV show about aerobic day workouts. After taking a black market drug, she creates a younger, better version of herself (Margaret Qualley) – with dire consequences.

The film sparked strong reactions from theater audiences. Many people left the screenings and even became ill because of the film.

Critics also have strong opinions about the film. The Post's Johnny Oleksinski gave “The Substance” three and a half stars and called it “the craziest thing I've ever seen.”

“I enjoyed this ride of charm, torment, madness and exploitation to such an absurd degree that I considered signing up for online therapy to help me cope,” Oleksinski wrote in his review, comparing the film to a “hotter, younger offshoot”. “from 1992’s “Death Becomes Her.”

Moore has her first full-frontal nude scene in “The Substance,” which she described as “a very vulnerable experience.”

“As we got into it, it really became clear – the level of vulnerability and rawness that was really required to tell the story,” she said at the Cannes Film Festival, where the film had its world premiere in May.

“And it was a very vulnerable experience and just required a lot of sensitivity and a lot of conversations about what we wanted to achieve,” the “Ghost” star added.

Moore also praised Qualley, calling her 30-year-old co-star “a great partner who I felt very safe with.”
