Becoming a very popular actress in the United States in the 1980s, Demi Moore achieved worldwide superstar status in the following decade thanks to numerous successes such as Ghost, Men of Honor and Indecent Proposal. More than thirty years later, the actress found new success with the French woman Chorale Farget’s The Substance.
Winner of the screenplay prize at the Cannes Film Festival, the film allows him to sign one of the most beautiful performances – if not the most beautiful – in a very physical role with little dialogue.

According to NeoLain (5 out of 5):What a wonder. How can you be indifferent to this movie? The script is excellent, of course, Demi Moore’s best performance, which is highly appreciated in this film. Patrick Swayze is surprising, bright, attractive.“
According to Serelem (5 out of 5): “We’ve seen it 100 times, cried with the sublime Demi Moore 100 times, laughed 100 times at the outrageous Whoopi Goldberg extravaganzas, sung the Righteous Brothers song 100 times, fantasized. About the Kenny of American cinema, the late Patrick Swayze, 100 times, and yet we never get tired of so much beauty and emotion.”
According to boscopax (5 out of 5):A romantic ghost film, you must dare. Swayze makes us forget Dirty Dancing, Demi Moore plays (for once) with something other than her body, and Whoopi Goldberg is hilarious as always. All this with a universal soundtrack and a love story made impossible, Ghost is a 90s classic with the Righteous Brothers still ringing in our heads before a statue scene to die for.“
According to Fabien S. (5 out of 5):A masterpiece. A very beautiful fantasy film. The cast is exceptional: the sublime Demi Moore, the hilarious Whoopi Goldberg and the late Patrick Swayze. The dish scene is sensual and timeless. I love watching this beautiful love story between life and death again and again.”
According to Shelby77 (4 of 5): “I may surprise some people, but after The Sixth Sense, I think Ghost is the best ghost movie ever. I was expecting a Ghost Whisperer kind of episode (which I also like), but I was surprised by the quality of the script. Humor, sadness, we all go through emotions. Two hours of pure happiness.”
According to the cinematographer (4 of 5):A moving story whose emotion reaches its climax at the end through this couple who are separated too soon by the sudden death of one of them. Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze shine in their roles playing clean, honest and fair characters. Whoopi Goldberg, a no-nonsense medium, also brings a touch of lightness and humor. The plot is good. A great success since 1990.”
According to Anthony O (4 of 5): “Great love movie. The legendary ceramics scene remains in the annals of the genre and leaves its mark on the minds of even those who call themselves insensitive. A good moment of silliness between lovers that doesn’t hurt.”
According to Nicholas V (3.5 out of 5): “This romance remains impressive, because even in the most fantastical stories, the characters are and will be the basis of all emotions in cinema.“
