Scout Willis was blown away by mom Demi Moore’s emotional performance in her new movie The Substance.

“My genuine takeaway from [The Substance] was how impressed I was with my mom and her courage to be as raw as she was and outside of the message of the film,” Willis, 33, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Alice + Olivia X The Beatles event in New York City on Wednesday, November 13. “It was her willingness to be in the harsh light, bearing her body of these moments of deep vulnerability.”

Scout is one of three daughters that Moore, 62, shares with ex-husband Bruce Willis. The pair are also parents to Rumer, 36, and Tallulah, 30.

Moore stars in the horror film alongside Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid. The movie follows Moore’s character, Elisabeth Sparkle, who is a well-known aerobics instructor facing personal struggles as she turns 50. She is approached by a laboratory that offers her a substance that promises to transform her into a perfected version of herself. Instead, a new, younger version of her — named Sue and portrayed by Qualley — appears.

Like others who’ve watched The Substance, Scout couldn’t help but gush over how great her mom is in it.

“I thought, ‘Wow, this woman is who I look up to,’ and she’s so unbelievably beautiful, so unbelievably talented and her willingness to show up in that space and be 100 percent herself,” she said. “It’s a service to share that and knowing how many people she touched, she was willing to be that courageous.”

Moore couldn’t help but gush about how “blown away” she was by the response.

“I feel like it’s had a deep resonance and really moved people,” Moore said in an interview with Vanity Fair published on Tuesday. “It’s been thought-provoking, which is always something that is very appealing and attracts me to material, but to see that translate? The part that’s been pure joy and fun — that people have riffed on from the memes, the Halloween costumes — and then on the other side of that to be having such a reflection and acknowledgment for my work, I truly couldn’t have imagined this kind of combination. It just doesn’t always happen this way.”
