| Showings |
A fading celebrity decides to use a black market drug, a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself.
The humanity of Demi Moore’s performance, the greatest of her career, gives Coralie Fargeat’s boldest ideas an emotional backbeat.
★★★★
It seems that Fargeat, into middle age herself, is already reckoning with some of them, and she’s turned them into a brilliant, bitter joke. It hurts to laugh—until it doesn’t.
★★★★
Some will run screaming, but if it’s your jam, this could just be your new favourite horror movie.
