Demi Moore, 61, stuns at The Substance photocall during return to Cannes Film Festival after 25 years - as the horror receives rave reviews and a 13-minute standing ovation


Demi Moore's incredible 'third act' continued as she made a stunning appearance at the The Substance photocall during Cannes Film Festival on Monday morning.

Demi stars as Elisabeth, an ageing TV fitness instructor a la Jane Fonda who signs up for a mysterious medical regime called The Substance that promises to create the perfect version of herself - played by Margaret Qualley. Ripping into her best big-screen role in decades, Moore is fearless in parodying her public image, Qualley showcases a wicked sense of humour as Barbie's evil twin, and Quaid hams it up joyously as an obnoxious, flashy-suited impresario. Fargaet's movie escalates with the kind of ultra-confident audacity that leaves you laughing out loud at sights that would otherwise make you shriek instead, and it simply refuses to end until even Harvey himself is sickened by how society pressures women into shaping their bodies.
