From the New York Times, this is the interview and Lulu Garcia Navarro.

It is hard to describe to Me Moore's new movie, The Substance.

On the one hand, it's a dark comedy

about the horrors of getting older as a woman in Hollywood,

but it's also a literal body horror film.

The basic premise is that Moore's character takes this

strange elixir that allows you to create a younger more perfect version of

herself and you can see that creation in bloody visceral detail.

It's a movie that challenges us to look at what drives our celebrity-obsessed culture

and the damage it does to our female stars.

More is already getting awards buzz for it.

And even though, I'll confess, I was kind of grossed out watching it,

I also couldn't look away.

I've been mesmerized by Demi Moore my whole life.

One of her first big films, St. Elmo's Fire, in 1985,

made me want to go to where it was partially set,

Georgetown University, which I eventually did.

Ghost with that famous scene of her making pottery with Patrick Swayze made me want to live in a New York

loft.

That alas never happened.

Her later films, like A Few Good Men, G. I. Jane,

in decent proposal, were basically the metronome of my younger life.
