We Want Moore

The rapturous reception of Demi Moore’s performance in Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance at this year’s Cannes Film Festival seems to have reminded many people that the New Mexico-born actress is a bona fide movie star—not just in terms of box office receipts and magazine cover shoots, but in her seemingly effortless ability to command the screen every time she walks into frame. In We Want Moore we’ve brought together some other timely reminders, including the popular phenomenon that was Ghost, her 2011 turn as a no-nonsense risk management officer in J.C. Chandor’s Margin Call, and key films from Moore’s reign as the undisputed queen of the ’90s erotic thriller/drama (Indecent Proposal, Disclosure, Striptease), tantalizing throwbacks to a time when Hollywood wasn’t terrified by the topic of sex. A pioneer for pay equity in her male-dominated industry and a performer capable of steely resolve and touching vulnerability, there’s never a wrong time to go back for Moore.
