THE SUBSTANCE | In Conversation with Demi Moore & "Charlie's Angels" | MUBI

[@KhadijaMbowe]

If Demi doesn't win this Oscar we are collectively riding at dawn

[@instructivesilence359]

I volunteer to carry the flag!😂 I just finished watching this segment and I have tears in my eyes because of how eloquent and powerful Demi’s word are.

[@BROJANGSTER]

idk, mikey madison’s really great too my vote would go to demi tho, don’t get me wrong 🤣🤣

[@Ciclopea2]

Count me in! 🏇

[@MsTriangle]

Her face is the contradiction of the movie

[@amy_yoshikawa]

Fernando Torres has a chance too.

[@Umar-iv5ls]

Thank you Mubi for this reunion! So iconic! Demi for the Oscar!

[@ironisa92]

Lucy Liu is STUNNING

[@virtuoso8642]

Baby, Drew set this up to help Demi campaign for that Oscar and *I LIVE* for it! I’m sorry Mikey and Fernanda, but Demi is taking it.

[@mattbernabe]

Same here! I think it's between Demi and Fernanda, but I'm really hoping Demi gets the Oscar. Not because she's an icon who's been in the industry for 4 decades, but to me, Demi gave the best performance in 2024.

[@jarm8618]

Demi is working hard campaigning. She wants that Oscar so bad and I’m here for it! She deserves it

[@POObumpoopo]

For me Fernanda was incredible but I'm happy for Demi too! Or Mikey! :)

[@guttocg]

No way, no campaign is getting the Oscar away from Torres. Fernanda Torres is winning

[@jarm8618]

@ lol she isn’t even nominated for Critics choice, SAG or Bafta. Fernando is great and deserves the nom but you are delusional!

[@Javier-rg8vp]

Rooting for Demi at the Oscars. The Substance was definitely a surprise and it made my favorite film of the year.

[@PitoPilarico]

Shout out to Drew being The Professional Talk Show Hostess of this group. 🌝

[@CD-vv9hm]

8:57 i’m glad demi mentioned how this story is often dismissed as only being about beauty standards.. the more interesting part is the “self imposed prison”we can all fall into with self harm. imo the substance is basically elisabeth’s two hour long suicide note. great film.

[@Ryanmichaelmac]

I agree! It was so incredibly sad when she couldn’t end Sue because of how much self hatred and loathing she had for herself as Elisabeth.

[@whatwherewho86]

It's such a good allegory for "masking." We can only mask for so long before we need to recharge, and often recharge in isolation. And the longer we mask without recharging, the more of ourselves we lose, until we break.

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

The self imposed prison of self loathing is one of the hardest places to break out of. So glad Demi touched on this subject, and spoke about the importance of self acceptance and feeling beautiful and comfortable from within one’s self. Such an important lesson for everyone, but especially for women of all ages. You are worthy of being loved for YOU (including loving yourself), unconditionally, and not on some sliding scale based on your age, weight, what you look like, or don’t look like etc…but loved for who YOU are. A powerful statement indeed, in what I consider to be the best performance, and the best film, of the year.

[@emimelonis50]

Thanks for the spoil 😢

[@eightysevenf]

Love how Lucy has a Charlie’s Angels poster in the background

[@MarinaAndTheDevil]

Imagine being Demi, having to say the same things about this movie 50000 times. That effort shouldn’t go unnoticed!

[@jonathann5205]

She definitely has her marketing game down- 💯

[@owens5737]

It’s just an Oscar campaign. Everyone does it 👍🏻

[@jonathann5205]

@@owens5737 for sure- the best actors also embrace the entrepreneurial aspect of filmmaking- you got to get out there and sell the art, inform people of the thought-provoking narrative

[@jaguarkaboom8967]

Wow. 4 legends. with no scandal among them and still achieving great things. so lovely. good for them. loved them since charlies angels. amazing chemistry. absolutely amazing.

[@Puda]

I remember Murray who would be awful to Lucy. Oh that guy… 🙄

[@charliebauti]

Amazing reunion and conversation. Demi has to win the Oscar, she deserves it!

[@nebo2073]

did you see other 4 movies then and performances of other nominees?

[@GMed-o4d]

I’ll cry if she wins the Oscar!!! The substance was my favorite movie going experience of 2024

[@instructivesilence359]

Demi saying she feels more autonomous now than she ever has makes me feel so happy for her! She deserves all the good things! I really hope she wins the Oscar for her brave and sublime performance in The Substance.

[@jonathann5205]

She is going to win a well-deserved Oscar for this performance, I intuit. Brava. Way to level-up to acting mastery.

[@annatarbaby]

I hope Demi wins. Not only she is a terrific actress, she's also brought some hard-lived experience to the role which transcends even her natural gift. Tipping my hat to the Angels, too!

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

Demi’s performance in the brilliant film “The Substance” is nothing short of magnificent. And it’s not just an Oscar worthy performance, it’s the greatest performance of her career. If she doesn’t win the Oscar, I’m rioting. It’s that simple. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@Plantbliss]

I saw The Substance. I was struck by how that would never work for a person who was connected in their lives. I’d never give up any time with my family and friends just to look pretty. The movie made me very grateful for connections

[@jimmynoir]

This reunion brings me wayyyy back!! And may I just say, since Cameron is back in action, I hope she gets a resurgence like Demi and gets a career topping project next!

[@user-fb4sb1zi8g]

It’s so cool to see these ladies together so many years after Charlie’s Angels ❤

[@lProjectZerol]

the Charlie Angels' frame behind Lucy Liu ❤❤❤

[@user-fb4sb1zi8g]

When they describe it as a woman with no friends or family, and leaning on the approval of the world, reminded me a lot of how Marilyn Monroe must’ve felt a lot as she was getting older.

[@hearttobreak1999]

I hope Demi get the Oscar

[@Licorice33]

Yeah that would be SOOO phenomenal !!! She worked her ass of for this movie !!!

[@Disney65Fan]

Same.

[@linjusan]

It's so lovely to remember that I watched Charlie's angels full throttle and The substance in a movie theatre

[@Susurrus2004]

god they are all so beautiful physically, intellectually, and emotionally. thanks for this reunion mubi this is brilliant

[@theobrominator]

Weeks from watching it, it still consumes my thoughts. Such a layered and brilliant movie!

[@nicholo1]

Love to see them still supporting each other after all these years. Their cultural impact together was a huge vibe back in the day.

[@mario_ibarra]

Demi deserve to win the Oscar ❤

[@RickyReviews]

My little old gay self is screaming inside seeing these women back together after loving them in Charlie's Angels!!!

[@instructivesilence359]

It’s the fact that I could hear exactly what that happy little shriek sounded like!!!😂🎉

[@Omarasjad]

Was gonna comment but you said exactly how I feel 😄 Those films really do mean a lot to the girls and gays who grew up with them!

[@caiomelgarejo2955]

hioly shit yea

[@AngelGomez-ld9nt]

Heck even the straights would scream too😆 charlies angels is just so sooo good

[@kreed82]

Whats you being a gay got to do with it?

[@samanthaharding4885]

This is brilliant. Four beautiful, intelligent women just reflecting so eloquently on the whole arc of The Substance. So enjoyable. Even if Demi doesn't win the Oscar she's already won because of all she has learned about herself. Stay Demi - you may have been a popcorn actress but you're not anymore.

[@Basileus84]

I'm rooting for Demi Oscar win. I've been a fan of her's since her General Hospital days as Jackie Templeton.

[@richkee2024]

I love that so many reviewers had the same reaction, "Demi Moore is Oscar worthy in this movie but the Academy would never nominate a movie like this" and here we are. Enough people saw the quality in her work, and in The Substance as a whole, and against all conventional wisdom she's a frontrunner.

[@jeffbassin630]

Thanks for this terrific conversation. Now Demi go get that well-deserved best actress Oscar!

[@junnybear957]

it's really nice to be able to hear Cameron Diaz in a conversation like this, I feel like I've never seen her be interviewed and get asked any questions that aren't just fluff. I would die to see her on Hot Ones

[@stevensn2722]

I LOVE this reunion 🎉! No jealousy, only friendship and love and pure blessings. We need this KIND of online meetings and talks!

[@malibu_rum]

Now we need these 4 to reunite in another movie!!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Many thanks to Demi, Cameron, Lucy and Drew! 🤩 THE SUBSTANCE was brilliantly executed and highly relatable. 💉

[@johnnolan5579]

Can't wait to see Demi on stage with an Oscar in her hand. So terrific in The Substance. And love all these ladies.

[@marcosadrielcosta4892]

Seeing this cast together makes me so happy! Drew, Lucy and Cameron supporting Demi touches a special place as a superfan of Charlie's Angel since I was a child. Even as a brazilian that is fully rooting for Fernanda, I'm extremely happy to see where Demi Moore and The Substance is going. Such a lovely reunion. Thank you so much for this, Mubi. ❤️

[@masadisii]

Demi should win the Oscar ! ❤

[@MrSynn69]

What an amazing reunion of extraordinary women and actors. Even without much dialogue so much is spoken through the narrative of the film, making Demi and Margaret's performances exceptional. For me the best film of the last year.

[@riyamaria2287]

So great to hear these powerful women communicate their experiences together and individually❤️

[@Driv3rMadness]

This is astonishing content, MUBI. Thank you so much!

[@danielroberts9056]

2 of my favorite movies of all time are Charlie’s Angels (either but especially FT bc of Demi!) and The Substance. What an awesome conversation. I admire these 4 incredible women and their work so much!

[@RodneyDollar]

Demi is for sure taking that Oscar and what a full throttle reunion 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥 the fact this came after Cameron Diaz got asked about Charlie’s angels 3 while prompting her film comeback a couple weeks ago and Lucy Liu being asked again at Jimmy Fallon like wow we need a third film please please please and all the ladies aged beautifully still crazy to think the only time they were all in the same place physically was at Lucy Liu’s walk of fame back in 2019

[@asun3630]

The 4 of you have a beauty that transcends age. There has always been something so special about each of you for very different reasons. No line on your face could ever take that way. Yes, you are all insanely gorgeous but because you all have always owned yourselves and body. 1925-2025 Hollywood beauty standards are dull and have aged over time faster than people do. It is a boring facade that doesn’t help film or artistry anymore. I want to see someone comfortable in their skin, and that is the metaphor of the substance, sex appeal and life. Demi, prosthetics or not, is stunning in that film for that exact reason. Get that Oscar!🎉

[@oldhollywoodfan8009]

This was really great seeing the 4 angels together again!😃 I’m so happy about Demi Moore’s Golden Globe win and now her SAG & OSCAR nominations!🤩 I’ve absolutely adored her ever since General Hospital in 1982.💖Just watched her again in NO SMALL AFFAIR on Tubi. My gosh she’s so beautiful in it!💖 And it’s really neat seeing Jon Cryer, Tim Robbins, Jennifer Tilly & George Wendt in the movie with her from all those years ago.☺️

[@shoWbitz]

Love The Substance. A masterpiece. 👏👍👌

[@remembereasyful]

This is an astonishing video!!!! So special. Demi also did The Actresses Roundtable recently, that was next level. Something so good going on in the discussion. Charlies Angels was a Marvelous movie too 🌼🌸🌺

[@andriottijunior]

I'm rooting equally for Demi Moore and Fernanda Torres. No matter who wins, both delivered incredible and unforgettable performances that will go down in cinema history.

[@Tw_bloodyslayer456]

Demi deserves that Oscar. She was exceptional in this film. This was hands down one of the best performances I've ever seen!

[@sooshibun]

Omg the reunion we needed, my childhood inspirations all together again... and all talking about my favorite movie of 2024!! Queens. Give Demi the Oscar. ;w;

[@Ciclopea2]

10:03 to 10:23 makes me realize that this role found its way to Demi at a point in her life when she weas ready for it, great insight! Haven't rooted so much for an actress to win an Oscar in years! 💖

[@twylacrowder1256]

Yes! Oscar for Demi. And, of course, I have seen you all and loved all of your other work, but you all will always be Charlie's Angels to me. My daughters and I have watched Charlie's Angels 1 and 2 multiple times. We love those movies so much! They are still so much fun to watch.

[@susanteller7046]

What a great group of female human beings, all inspiring in their own way, and Demi Moore, you have always been a bad ass, and a woman to look up to for the strength that you have, and again, it's about time you are up for the Oscar, because you have always deserved one. God bless you all, and thanks for this post. Inspirational for me. ❣️🙏😇😁👍👍💪. But it would seem that people in the realm of Hollywood and the industry don't have friends who are outside of that realm, and honestly, you are all lucky to be protected to a certain degree.

[@ec9121]

Literal Icons. Growing up in the 2000’s very few films had female leads, let alone strong and badass female leads like the Charlie’s Angels *films. One of my favorite movies ever has always been Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, seeing the strength and beauty of all four of these women truly inspired me and gave me more options/ideas of what a woman can do. They expanded my reality in a way I am MOST grateful for, this reunion is making my inner child sequel in glee. Thank you to all of them for being leaders in a challenging world. And thanks if you read this all, lol.

Not buying into the narrative of needed your looks validated is so freeing and empowering! I love seeing Pamela Anderson out here looking fresh faced and beautiful, refusing to paint her face for whatever the reason. All I know is that she looks healthy, happy and as if she gives zero f:;cks whether men think she’s hot or not. (That’s such a flex)
