The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's daring critique examines the tyranny of feminine aesthetics along with the dreaded aspects of growing older.

Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh challenges his directorial skills through this nifty supernatural story captured wholly through the eyes of a ghost. As a family featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their recent residence, the lens – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor fully commits to his unique fame via this meta comedy caper. He acts as a self-obsessed celebrity called Nicolas Cage who agrees to a lucrative offer to attend a festive event at a Mediterranean location for the rich Javi Gutierrez. Contacted by the intelligence agency to spy on the potential kingpin, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. This Saturday, prime time, Channel 4
The Black Phone
Scott Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective without requiring a follow-up. Set in 1970s Colorado, multiple kidnappings has rendered the youth on edge. After Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a cellar, he fears the worst. Yet the non-functional line mounted nearby keeps ringing, with ghostly voices offering help, while the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, nighttime, Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for Mammon in this director's wonderfully garish true story about the fallen TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor plays the greedy Jim, who proclaims initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin monetising the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, yet Chastain achieves to show the character as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
This period's additional entry by the same director is a espionage tale as tight similar to the collars used by Michael Fassbender's British agent. He is tasked to identify a double agent inside the organization out of five possibilities – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Each performer are experts of understated style, so a delicious mental battle of deception or honesty takes place. Additional actors take part the intelligent intelligence fun.
