Desperate to secure her fading celebrity status, Elisabeth Sparkle, a Hollywood actress-cum-TV
exercise impresario, undergoes a black-market medical procedure that promises self-actualization, but culminates in the spawning of Sue, a bold and brash clone of her younger self that perpetuates its existence via weekly spinal taps. The pair are warned to respect their new symbiotic relationship or risk corrosive consequences. But as Sue starts reserving more time in the limelight at the behest of a slimeball executive and her own growing ambition, Sparkle is soon faced with an existential threat, one that engenders a wicked feud with her tulpa and a knock-down, drag-out battle to reclaim her autonomy.
Directed with ingenuity and infectious delight by filmmaker Coralie Fargeat and starring a superb
Demi Moore, this unforgettable mix of high style, gore and dark comedy is a total, gleeful delight.
