Coralie Fargeat returns with a bold and visceral film, diving deep into themes of beauty, aging, and the consequences of obsession. This is not a movie for the faint of heart or those with sensitive stomachs—its graphic and gory scenes will leave a lasting impression. Fargeat’s direction shines as she masterfully lets visuals speak louder than words, with certain scenes delivering more impact than dialogue ever could.
The film tells the story of an aging actress, portrayed by the legendary Demi Moore, who at 50 faces irrelevance in the entertainment industry. Desperate to reclaim her youth and status, she turns to a mysterious substance that makes her look younger and more beautiful. However, the transformation comes with horrific consequences. Margaret Qualley portrays the younger version of Moore’s character, and her performance beautifully captures the internal conflict and emotional weight of the transformation.
Dennis Quaid also delivers a memorable performance, playing a character so despicable that you’ll undoubtedly find yourself hating him by the end of the movie. Both Quaid and Moore give the kind of performances that linger long after the credits roll.
With a budget of just $20 million, the film manages to deliver a powerful and thought-provoking experience. It’s the kind of movie that leaves you either loving or hating it, but one thing’s for sure: it won’t leave you indifferent. The themes of vanity, the fear of aging, and the brutal cost of reclaiming lost youth will have you reflecting long after the film ends.
