CORALIE FARGEAT IS CHANGING THE FILM INDUSTRY ONE FILM AT A TIME!

28th January 2025

When it comes to awards season, Coralie Fargeat’s work deserves to be part of the conversation, especially with her latest film, The Substance. The way she’s reinvented both #DemiMoore and #MargaretQualley through this project is the kind of bold, transformative storytelling that award bodies like the Oscars and Golden Globes are starting to pay attention to Moore’s return to the spotlight, armed with a role that challenges stereotypes about age and relevance, feels like the kind of comeback narrative awards voters love.

Meanwhile, Qualley’s intense and boundary-pushing performance seems primed for critical acclaim, especially given her steady rise as one of Hollywood’s most intriguing young talents. If anything, Fargeat’s ability to craft these layered, standout roles could earn her recognition not only as a director but as a key creative force reshaping what prestige filmmaking looks like.

Genre films, historically overlooked during awards season, have been slowly carving out space in recent years, and Fargeat’s unique voice is a perfect fit for this shift. Like Jordan Peele with Get Out or Bong Joon-ho with Parasite, she uses genre as a vehicle to tackle societal issues—like gender politics, power dynamics, and transformation—without losing her audience in abstraction. Her work is visually stunning, emotionally raw, and thematically rich, making it exactly the kind of filmmaking that bridges the gap between art-house and mainstream. If awards voters are looking for something that feels fresh, fearless, and deeply relevant, Fargeat’s latest offering might just be the dark horse of the season. Fargeat’s ability to create meaningful roles for women, reinvent careers, and challenge traditional storytelling is exactly the kind of energy the film industry needs right now. The film’s been nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars, while Demi Moore’s performance has earned her a ton of recognition, including a Golden Globe. It’s definitely a film that’s sparking conversations across the board. Give this woman all the accolades, awards and flowers!!
