Since then, the film has garnered numerous awards and nominations, including five Oscar nods. Featuring the now Oscar-nominated performances of Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, The Substance was lauded by IGN with an 8/10 review, which praised the film for "indicting celebrity culture’s obsession with youth and beauty in a sick, twisted, and squirm-inducing parable."
