Coralie Fargeat's bold satire tackles the oppressive nature of female beauty along with the perceived horrors of advancing years.

Yet once an unknown lady disappears from the ship one night and the entire crew denies she ever existed, her journalistic curiosity awaken. Out now, on Netflix


Presence Film

Soderbergh pushes his creative boundaries in this innovative paranormal narrative filmed completely from the perspective of the phantom. After a clan including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their recent residence, the camera – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions. Chloe seems sensing the ghostly being, and the entity appears guarding her. But why? It's a fun idea that avoids overstaying, with a twist that may be unexpected.

This Self-Referential Film

Cage wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image via this autobiographical spoof. He portrays an egotistical film star playing himself who accepts a lucrative offer to attend a birthday party in Mallorca for billionaire Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Recruited by the intelligence agency to investigate the alleged criminal, his unconventional method is put to the test. Saturday 11 October, 9pm, on Channel 4


This Creepy Thriller

The director's claustrophobic thriller remains effective without requiring a follow-up. Taking place in 1978 Denver, several disappearances has rendered the local kids frightened. When Finney is kidnapped by the villain and locked up in a dungeon, he anticipates a fatal end. However, the non-functional line on the wall repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie. This Saturday, late evening, the Film4 channel


The Tammy Faye Biopic

In the struggle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish true story about the fallen TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin profiting from the American public's religious faith. It's a riot of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, yet the lead actress achieves to present the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel


This Espionage Thriller

This period's second offering from the filmmaker presents a spy mystery as sharp similar to the collars sported by Michael Fassbender's British agent.
